Magic 8 Ball

thingiverse

Update! The cordless version is now available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4893048 Who doesn’t remember the magic 8 ball? Ask it a yes or no type question, turn it over to see the answer! Two versions are available. One where magnets keep the two halves together and one that is just pressure fit. If you use the magnetic version double-triple check the magnet polarity as you push them in. You have one chance to get it right. Do one half at a time. Take a spare magnet and mate it with the one you are about to push in. Mark the outside face of the spare magnet. Keep them together as you press it in. Use that spare magnet for the other two keeping that face out. When done, double check that the spare sticks to all with the marked face up. That face will now go down in the other half. The “8” portion is a pressure fit. Should not need any glue. Might need small amount of convincing to get in place. The screen and Nano both pressure fit into place in the bottom. Screw holes for an M2 bolt of 5-8MM are available and you shouldn’t need more than one. You can chose to glue. All parts are listed below. You will need some jumper wires and/or soldering skills. The screen needs to either have right angle header pins or be soldered. Normal header pins will interfere with the fit. You will also need a micro USB data cable to program and power the nano. I am not going to go into an Arduino or coding lesson here. https://www.arduino.cc/ has plenty of that available. Put a watch on this thing as I plan to tweak the sketch some to make the display more interesting.
