So the Dalek needs to be able to play back Dalek noises.
I did wonder about arduino, wave shields etc - but I decided on a simpler approach.
I’ll give it a bluetooth audio receiver and just use my phone to playback (any music app - iTunes or whatever). Then the sounds can just be audio files (and I can also use it as a bluetooth speaker for other things).

I picked up the transparent (or natural) filament today - so I could print off the light covers (ears).
That means all parts from the model are now printed.

Printing progress. Lots more parts printed. I have run out of blue so some are red. I’ve also run out of red - so the skirts will be in black. All that leaves now is the ears - they need to be in clear - and I need to get some clear filament for those (they will not be painted and need to have LEDs inside).

From what I can see - it looks like the model I’ll be building is a Time War Dalek - 2005

Did some digging - and have found several voice modulators for arduino out there that can make you sound like you’re a dalek. Some of them also do the lights control. Some mention the wave arduino shield from adafruit as a useful addition.
Didn’t find exactly what I want (I’m more interested in one that can take playback rather than a microphone) but I did find that lots of things link to Project Dalek - looks like a really useful resource.

The Dalek build has been started.
The base front and back parts have been printed.

While I was digging for some inspiration for a new 3d model I happened across the Accurate Dalek Model by user Audrey2.

I recently picked up a set of PolarPro’s Cinema ND and ND+Polarizer filters for DJI Mavic drone. They come in a nice box supported in foam but are a bit fiddly to get in and out.
Did some looking online and found a nice tool to allow you to keep your fingers off the filter glass.

I was watching a video on 3D Printing Nerd’s youtube channel where he was printing a Pac-Man ghost (video at the end of this post).
It made me think that it could be fun to do something similar.

So - the kids are taken by the current fidget spinner craze.
I have to say that personally - they seem like simple gyroscopes - but OK - they think they’re interesting.
So - what can we do with that to make it more interesting (and perhaps just a...
