Article Summaries:

  • Adafruit has released a new 3D‑printable AllSeason Hand Spreader, a lightweight, ergonomic device designed for year‑round use. The spreader can dispense grass seed, fertilizer, or salt, making it suitable for lawns, paths, and driveways in both growing and winter seasons. Users can download the STL files from MakerWorld and assemble the spreader with minimal waste thanks to its controlled outlet. The launch coincides with Adafruit’s weekly #3DThursday series, which highlights DIY projects that combine 3D‑printed enclosures with electronics such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi. The initiative encourages makers to integrate printed parts into functional, low‑cost hardware solutions.
