Thingiverse.com pushed some major changes this week. A facelift for the site in general, including MakerBot-matching branding and a new approach to information architecture in general. And two brand new offerings — Thingiverse Apps and a Developer API.

Check it out, and be sure to follow Adafruit!

The Thingiverse API
Thingiverse’s API opens our universe of downloadable 3D Things to the developer community.

• Create apps to browse, mash up, and contribute to our library of more than 30,000 Things.
• Develop the next great tool for our community of designers, engineers, makers, and all-around geniuses.
• Use our JavaScript API to create apps embedded within Thingiverse.

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!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
