Typing/Talking Gag

prusaprinters

<p>Modeled on a dildo gag, this 3d printed arduino-powered device is studded with buttons in training-relevant locations which the wearer uses to control a screen mounted on the front of the panel.</p><p>The original plan was to just display a symbol on the forward-facing screen for each button press, but it quickly grew in scope to include 'typing' letters using a custom system of two-button combination codes. The code to display letters is included, along with a chart for remembering 'keystrokes.'</p><p>I decided to grow the project into a full-featured, desktop-mounted keyboard (minus numbers) with an additional button (and freedom of movement). It uses the same button section but a different, longer base, mounted to a stand. The keyboard code works and allows this version to function as a real computer keyboard. It is also uploaded here and at Cults3d and Deviantart.</p><p>This build includes the models, Arduino code, art, and a guide on how to make it. There is plenty of room for improvement in the design and I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with, but what I have here is satisfyingly functional, even if it requires a little modification after printing.</p><p>After that, I'll work on additional Arduino code, maybe a typing game, until I get bored with this particular theme of devices. The next thing will probably be some kind of tilt-sensing collar.</p><p>other photos: <a href="https://imgur.com/a/e7emzZy">https://imgur.com/a/e7emzZy</a></p>
