Adafruit Playground is a wonderful and safe place to share your interests with Adafruit's vibrant community of makers and doers. Have a cool project you are working on? Have a bit of code that you think others will find useful? Want to show off your electronics workbench? You have come to the right place.

The goal of Adafruit Playground is to make it as simple as possible to share your work. On the Adafruit Playground users can create Notes. A note is a single-page space where you can document your topic using Adafruit's easy-to-use editor. Notes are like Guides on the Adafruit Learning System but guides are high-fidelity content curated and maintained by Adafuit. Notes are whatever you want them to be. Have fun and be kind.

Recently the Chameleon 3D Mk4 has been fully open sourced. I believe it was said because of the plentiful availability of multi-material units (MMU's) for 3d printers, along with a desire to receive new inspiration from open source contributors into the core design / product.

The instructions are still in a form that ties to the kits, and mostly in video form, so there is a bit of assumed knowledge (like what parts you have).
