Adafruit Showcases Pepper’s Ghost Monster Eyes and a Floating Ghost 3D Print
Reading lead
Adafruit’s weekly 3D Hangouts post highlights a Pepper’s Ghost monster-eye project and revisits its Marquee display, alongside a time-lapse featuring a floating ghost dog model by O3D. The post links to guides for the Pepper’s Ghost effect and Adafruit Monster Eyes, and lists hardware including the Qualia ESP32-S3, a 2.1-inch round TFT, and a 2.9-inch MagTag e-ink display. It also points readers to community-made 3D printing projects and describes how printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures can be combined with electronics. The material is a roundup of existing guides, components, and community work; it does not announce a new product or provide performance tests or detailed build instructions in the article itself.
