Flora Planter Robot #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Flora is a fun little robot designed to keep its plant companion safe and happy. Flora seeks out bright light to ensure its plant gets enough sunlight. Ultrasonic sensors help to detect and avoid obstacles, a light sensor lets Flora know where to plop down and let the plant soak in some light. Flora uses the vorpal hexapod software and can easily be programed with a scratch extension.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
