Robotic Creatures

thingiverse

We're going to show you how to bring creatures to life using magnetic filament and magnets, powered by a Circuit Playground Express and Crickit, Adafruit's robotics platform! The enclosure houses the electronics and the models are printed in Magnetic PLA. You'll find everything you need to build a project with lights, sounds, and motor control in Adafruit’s Crickit and Circuit Playground Express. Learn how to create these magnetic creatures at https://learn.adafruit.com/robotic-creatures/overview Watch a video of the project in action: https://youtu.be/QJ8ITURT0NU When you place these magnetic creatures close to the platform, they come to life! A motor and magnet move them around the platform. NeoPixel UV LED help illuminate the dual translucent material. The print-in-place hinges bring these 3D printed creatures to life!
