Even if you've never touched a 3D printer, these projects will
excite and empower you to learn new skills, extend your current
abilities, and awaken your creative impulses. Each project uses a
unique combination of electronics, hand assembly techniques, custom
3D-printed parts, and software, while teaching you how to think
through and execute your own ideas. Written by the founder of
Printrbot, his staff, and veteran DIY authors, this book of
projects exemplifies the broad range of highly personalized,
limit-pushing project possibilities of 3D printing when combined
with affordable electronic components and materials. In Make: 3D
Printing Projects, you'll: Print and assemble a modular lamp that's
suitable for beginners--and quickly gets you incorporating
electronics into 3D-printed structures. Learn about RC vehicles by
fabricating--and driving--your own sleek, shiny, and fast Inverted
Trike. Model a 1950s-style Raygun Pen through a step-by-step primer
on how to augment an existing object through rapid prototyping.
Fabricate a fully functional, battery-powered screwdriver, while
learning how to tear down and reconstruct your own tools. Get
hands-on with animatronics by building your own set of life-like
mechanical eyes. Make a Raspberry Pi robot that rides a monorail of
string, can turn corners, runs its own web server, streams video,
and is remote-controlled from your phone. Build and customize a
bubble-blowing robot, flower watering contraption, and a DIY camera
gimbal.

Minecraft has sold more than one hundred million copies worldwide
(about 25 million of those units for the PC and Mac). According to
Mojang, since the beginning of 2016 Minecraft continues to average
53,000 copies sold per day. Microsoft bought Minecraft (and Mojang)
in 2014 for $2.5 billion. In 2016, Microsoft released a version of
Minecraft specifically for educators called MinecraftEdu that is
used by thousands of teachers around the world. Minecraft for
Makers explores the intersection of this creative and beloved
electronic game with the real world. It gives readers the
opportunity to take familiar objects from the game - such as
blocks, jack o'lanterns, and mobs - and make real-world versions of
them. Begin with simple crafting projects using wood, paint, and
LEGOs. Then move up to projects that involve basic electronics with
LEDs. And, finally, advance to Arduino microcontroller projects
that teach programming skills and basic robotics. The skills build
progressively on one another, from chapter to chapter, and the
emphasis is on fun all the way! Chapters include: Basic Projects
(Item Frame with Diamond Sword, LEGO Minecraft Block, Minecraft
Chess Pieces) LED Projects (Glowing Minecraft Block, Glowstone
Chandelier, Minecraft Chess Board) Arduino Projects (Minecraft Jack
O'Lantern, Night and Day Clock, Robot Creeper)
