OK, I'm pretty proud of this one, being a big fan of AvE's YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@arduinoversusevil2025 . This is his logo realized as a 3D model. I think it's skookum as frig. If you need help with the terminology, head to https://avedictionary.com/ 

The 8-pin DIP package model (a STEP file format) was borrowed from an actual manufacturer's 3D datasheet model, I forget which, which is also why the scaling is way, way off in the raw STL files. I added the busted plastic top where the Angry Pixie (aka Magic Smoke) is being released. The 555 timer is a legendary chip for the home gamer's electronics projects, and the frequent defender against Arduino projects with the epithet “could have just used a 555 timer” whenever an Arduino is used for a simple analog circuit.

<BREAKING NEWS> Just spotted this in my Instructables newsletter: https://www.instructables.com/Microcontroller-Vs-555-Timer-Motor-Speed-Controlle/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email

The little 2D thingy in the picture is a magnet I printed myself on magnetic “paper” after I blew up the AvE logo with Gigapixel AI. I had to make my own since AvE does not sell this one on his merch site. PNG file included if you want to print in the 2nd dimension. 

As you can see, my Angry Pixie (flame) is more conehead-themed than the original art. This is due to my lack of skills with sculpting software. I also could not figure out a way to capture the 2 shades of blue in a way that would look right in 3D. If I could FDM print transparent light blue over a darker blue like the logo, that would be the way to go, but a million dollar StrataSys is what you'd need to get the effect right. If you think you can sculpt a better flame like the real logo, PLEASE REMIX. 

<BREAKING NEWS!> JLC 3DP can apparently do color-inside-color resin printing with perfect clarity. Just popped up in my YT feed:

Note per this video, the liver model above would cost $130-150 USD approximately. It would probably be cheaper to install a butane torch inside the chip body for the flame effect!

Filament colors I used: generic matte black PLA, Bambu Lab matte white PLA, GEEETECH silk silver PLA, and metallic cobalt made by Printalot (Argentina) and sold by IIID MAX in the USA. Of course, you should be checking for Prusament equivalents :)

The 3mf files are manually painted in multicolor. Solidworks parts included for other Maker-licensed users to remix.

Designer's note: I printed this at 1200% scale. The original 555 model was the size of an actual 8-pin PDIP. ... and I should add, that refers to the STL files, the 3MF should already be scaled.

This is a remix of https://www.printables.com/model/392964-gridfinity-bambu-lab-hotend-nozzle created by Luka Rasmussen on Printables. Also included is the lid by "ame" on Printables. https://www.printables.com/model/178413-gridfinity-1x1-lid

Luka made a nice model for the nozzle assembly itself, but the nozzles come with 2x M3-12 screws, a silicone sock, and thermal grease. Without a place to put these, they'll get separated and lost! Fortunately, there was plenty of room to fit them into the design. Voila!
