@adafruit This will be great for making cost effective accessible input devices - e.g., can hook-up a Mini Analog Joystick for an accessible mouse or adapted joystick for Xbox Adaptive Controller.

@CapazDeJugar A single internal 1/4"-20 UNC is compatible with a range of commercial and DIY mounting options. The XAC also has two #10-24 spaced 1.912". This is across the diagonal of the AMPS mounting standard.

TIL about https://t.co/y2fqaqdI5z - an easy way to export all your data from Google. This should make it easier to free up some space from old photos.

@TechOWLpa There is a similar DIY Open AT option from Volksswitch: https://t.co/HEUWOu1iyg

@TechOWLpa What is the first one? The one supporting the hand to use the tablet?

.@printablescom Any way we can add an #AssistiveTechnology tag to https://t.co/WB2oTH5vdK? 😉

There's a whole community out there dedicated to #OpenSource AT!

[Jake McIvor @jakemcivor]

Took me a while, but I finally got this project documented and published. https://t.co/JspZtDG26m

Congrats to all the teams for their hard work. Hope to see many of these designs submitted to the @MakerMakeChange library so they can be built and get out to people that need them! #OpenAT #AssistiveTech

[PrintLab @weareprintlab]

The 2022 #makeablechallenge involved hundreds of teams using @tinkercad, @adskFusion360 and 3D printing to design assistive devices for people in their local communities. Today we are delighted to announce the winners! Check out their inspirational videos https://t.co/vs9Q3LjWE5

@JosieVersloot @kalculberson @Xbox @PlayStation @RAMMounts Would be great to have a variant of these with a 1/4"-20 UNC female thread (e.g., T-Nut) so they could work with cheap camera mounts / magic arms too!

[Jake McIvor @jakemcivor]

@janellessingh I appreciate the colour choice!

[Jake McIvor @jakemcivor]

@JosieVersloot I know a good spot for those design files when you're finished ;)

@annaecook Some great info on adding Braille to 3D prints here: https://t.co/v1uVIBZMNI

@BillieRubenMake Wouldn't it be great if @autodesk open sourced the code for 123DMake or made Slice For Fusion 360 available again?

[Jake McIvor @jakemcivor]

I guess the only thing left for @sincy12 is to save the planet in some sort of soccer SpaceJam 3?
