New Product Post



It’s shaping up to be quite an exciting week here at Seeed.  Five new products just dropped, and we couldn’t wait to share them.

From the makers of the MakerBot Thing-O-Matic comes the next generation MakerBot Replicator.  This takes 3D printing to a whole new level.  It comes pre-assembled, so all you have to do is snap on the extruder and you are ready to create.  With dual extrusion, you can now print your object in up to two colors, and it can be as large as a loaf of bread.  Models are readily downloaded from Thingiverse.com or design your own.

To see the MakerBot in action, go to makerbot-replicator-hands-on-video.  Founder, Bre Pettis, gives an informative overview of the product and the fruits of his labor at CES, courtesy of engadget.com.

We’ve added a new product to the Grove Accelerometer family, the Grove – 3-axis Analog Accelerometer.  Now there is no need to be torn between digital or analog, just choose the most suitable board for your project.  The analog version is available as a breakout board which makes it more conducive to personalized applications than other Grove system modules.  It has the same 3-axis sensing as its digital counterpart, plus, it has higher sensitivity.

For those neophytes looking to get into the DIY electronics scene, look no further than our new LED panel soldering kits.  These kits are fun, safe, and a great educational tool to boot.  Now you can create illuminating LED patterns with ease and simplicity.  We have two kits to support both the warm and the cool LED spectrum of colors with corresponding expansion kits.  Each kit comes with LEDs, an LED panel, “AA” battery holder, and an LED driver board.  The 2V Hexagon LED Panel Kit supports red, yellow, and orange LEDs, and the 3V Hexagon LED Panel Kit supports green, blue, purple, and white LEDs.

Once you’ve mastered either the 2V kit, the 3V kit or both, consider adding on with either the 2V LED Panel or the 3V LED Panel expansion kits.   Have fun connecting several panels together or cascading them for a honeycomb effect.  Then add the Arduino/Seeeduino into the mix to control the LED lights.

That’s it.  Until next time, keep on making.

    I have a question about you guys awesome services, would you guys be willing to do 3D prints with this kind of a 3D printer for people as a service?
    All the 3D print lab services I’ve found online are laser based, and all too high in detail and COST, some of us need 3D prototypes printed in the cheaper, rougher, Makerbot style. I could even be your first customer. All of us at North Street Labs love your laser service, but what about 3D printing as well?

    Thanks for the suggestion, Stephen. Will consider adding this service. But I think this will take some time to prepare. We are still waiting for the first new generation Makerbot’s arrival and play with it. 😀
