Ben and Felix work together to create a hacker-friendly Halloween mask. They use basic materials from the hardware store to create the framework of the mask and add servos that will move the creature’s mandibles. Ben wires up a couple of LED matrixes to use as the creature’s eyes. The electronics are mounted on the mask before Ben get’s crafty to skin, paint, and detail the mask. Trick or treat!

  • I would like enter to win the contest.Looks so cool,What i would use it for is use it as is for a while,Then i Was thinking about recycling the electronics and using them in an earth day build to help the environment and possibly use my raspberry pi and create a super mask for next Halloween.Why i should win it:I don't really know but probably because I'm an electronics enthusiast,but not because I'm you biggest fan I'm pretty sure people can top me what with Ben heck merchandise and all.anyways Love your show and everything you do

    -Thank you so much for TBHS you bring lots of joy

    (P.S im planning on going to Maker Faire next year hopefully i can see you there!)

  • Hé Ben. The mask you made looks very cool and I would like to win it can you sign me up for the contest to win it? I would like to scare and impress my friends with it. also i have a question for a future project. can you build a 3D printer that can print in ABS and PLA plastic. I would like to hear back from you. thanks for considering and keep the good work up.
