A build-it-yourself MP3 player for toddlers, and maybe for adults too. 3D-print your own custom figurines (we call themMomies) and pair them with your favorite stories, songs, or audiobooks. If you have a 3D printer and the ability to solder, you can build one of these for roughly the same cost as a commercialToniebox, and without the long-term cost of ownership. Plus, the momobox and the associated momies are distinctly yours!
The momobox started as a toy I built for my daughter, who we call Momo, during my batch atthe Recurse Center. It runs on a Raspberry Pi Pico, and incorporates an RFID sensor, speaker, SD card, and a 3D-printed enclosure and momies.
Take a look at theproject wiki for resources and to get started. At this time the project is not fully documented - if you'd like support, encouragement, or get stuck during the build, please feel free to reach out!
The design for the 3D printed components lives inOnShape.
Materials currently on order are stored in thisGoogle Sheet. A finalized bill of materials should go in this section once an initial build configuration has been selected.
