Built my own desktop concert venue

Phone connects over Bluetooth, it grabs the album art, pulls the colors, and drives an LED matrix in real time — so the whole thing changes color with every song. Built it myself on a Raspberry Pi; still finishing a custom PCB and enclosure.

A few people have asked if they could get one, so I'm thinking about doing a small batch. Two honest questions:

Would you actually want one? (just gauging if it's worth doing)

What would you want it to do — any features, sizes, or options?

Not selling anything yet, just figuring out if this is real. If you want to be kept in the loop there's a form in my profile. Happy to answer anything about the build 🙂

Got tired of regular speakers so I built this for my desk

Been building this in my desk for a few weeks. It’s a Bluetooth speaker I made from scratch that grabs the album art from whatever song you’re playing and displays lights accordingly. It’s been a great addition to my desk setup. Still just a prototype but just finished v2 and wanted to see what you would change.

Would you give something like this as a family gift?

I turned my family into a miniature Mount Rushmore using AI and 3D printing.
I started with front-facing photos, generated the face sculptures, arranged everything in Blender, designed the mountain and nameplate, and then 3D printed the final piece.
Thought it would be a fun way to turn family photos into something unique.

Desktop concert stage prototype I’ve been working on

I’ve been working on a miniature concert stage for my desk that displays the album art and song info for whatever I’m listening to.
Still a prototype, but it’s starting to come together and I’m pretty happy with how it’s turning out.
What would you add or change?

Made a fully 3d printed electric guitar

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share a project I made over the past few months. I’m a 19 year old passionate about engineering but also love music. I’ve always loved and appreciated the sound of electric guitar. I had the funny idea to make a guitar that plays downloaded audio when strummed giving the illusion of me playing. I fully designed the guitar and it is all 3d printed with PLA. I integrated electronics and made PCBs. A simplified version of how It works by using an electric guitar pickup fed into an op-amp circuit with decent gain and a 2.5v bias so the Arduino can read it. Then with some code I use the strum detection to signal to the DFPayer Mini to play pre-downloaded mp3 guitar audio. I would love to hear what y’all think. Thanks!

Also ignore my bad acting haha.
