Update: #freecad 3D model is basically done. After figuring out threaded inserts I'll print it.
I added a little slot for the speaker. The backplate is locked in place by the faceplate.

Someone asked if this is all worth it for a halloween costume.Well. I'm fairly certain toddler would also be really happy with a cardboard box and no sound.
Toddler also enjoys participating in this though. And I'm learning new #hobby skills.
So yes. It is, as we're having fun.

Years ago I built models in #SolidWorks. Since then I've switched to #FreeCAD, but I still wanted to bring over some of my old models. Instead of rebuilding them by hand, I gave #ClaudeCode an #MCP server for each app and let it do the migration.
It worked flawlessly and took only a few seconds. AI is so powerful with the right tools.

I'll use this as a thread to document the building of this toy.
Idea: https://mastodon.online/@Pepijn/117257481074439294
Electronics: https://mastodon.online/@Pepijn/117293604254967877
Current phase is creating (in #FreeCAD) the physical box, some internal support structures for the electronics, and the faceplate. As it has to be herd-of-small-children-proof and maintainable (replace batteries, change sounds for further use) it's a fun learning project to figure out the design requirements for that.

I've had pinball leg mounted drink holders since early 2000s, although those were pretty crude DIYs back when consumer 3D printing wasn't a thing. My very first take was just a piece of steel bent into a shape on L with holes for the leg bolts and then a ring big enough for a soda bottle welded onto that.
As my collection grew, somewhere in early 2010s the Pingulp was released. Not that it was an unique idea even then, but it was a good product. I own around 30 of those. At that point I had migrated from energy drinks to coffee and got used to having my coffee mug there.
Over the years the product got revised, the version 2.0 no longer fit the mug perfectly and by the 3.0 it was useless to me.
I had made my own variant when learning OpenSCAD back in the days, but saw no point in 3D printing something that was cheap and readily available. Until now.
So here's my version resurrected and redone with #freecad. It's intended to be cheap, customizable via color painting in slicers and easy to print. After some prototypes I think I have a model that works in arcade use as well.
If you need one, here's the model:

Yesterday, I've made a replacement handle for the spout of our rainwater tank which broke off. It has a snug fit and worked first try. It's made from ASA which should withstand the UV exposure with no issue. :3
