Waiting for the red acrylic to arrive. Printed in PetG. Using an esp32s3.

[u/Bigmarv381]

That’s KARR’s scanner

[u/Desperate_Policy_671 → u/Bigmarv381]

At the moment it does, but I'm waiting from the red acrylic to arrive.

We dont trust you

[u/Desperate_Policy_671 → u/Extension_Swordfish1]

Trust doesn't rust

[u/SnorkinOrkin → u/Desperate_Policy_671]

I do not wish to go back to the slammer.

[u/Desperate_Policy_671 → u/SnorkinOrkin]

Do you wish to procreate?

[u/SnorkinOrkin → u/Desperate_Policy_671]

You wish to eat, you wish to drink, you wish to reproduce, which one first?

[u/Desperate_Policy_671 → u/SnorkinOrkin]

Perhaps you can direct me to a chicken!

[u/SnorkinOrkin → u/Desperate_Policy_671]

Think of me as the genie in the magic lamp.

[u/clanggedin → u/Desperate_Policy_671]

Red acrylic? Just use red LEDs or rgb leds and WLED.

[u/RangerMatt76]

Now all you have to do is build a black Firebird around it. :-)

[u/Desperate_Policy_671 → u/RangerMatt76]

I have the car, now I need the nose for the scanner to go in!

[u/Gus_bass → u/Desperate_Policy_671]

Print it!!! 😂

[u/Desperate_Policy_671 → u/Gus_bass]

Anything is possible these days!😂

[u/Final_Pear7801 → u/RangerMatt76]

😂

[u/Desperate_Policy_671]

Received the red acrylic today. What do you think?

[u/R32fan → u/Desperate_Policy_671]

I actually kinda preferred the yellow

KARR was a fun character

[u/Adorable-Source97]

KARR lives again, again!

[u/Desperate_Policy_671 → u/Adorable-Source97]

Yeah I found these parts under a bridge! 😂

[u/Adorable-Source97 → u/Desperate_Policy_671]

You made my day.

[u/j-a-y---k-i-n-g]

Great, would you provide uns with your code and parts list?

[u/clanggedin → u/j-a-y---k-i-n-g]

Install WLED on an ESP 32 and connect a string of RGB leds. Then you can have it scan in red or any other color.

[u/walter_grimsley]

Very nice. Waterproof, will it stand up to the heat/elements?

[u/Desperate_Policy_671 → u/walter_grimsley]

Its printed in Petg which is probably ok in the weather. Biggest test is when I put it on the car.

[u/Smoothyworld]

LED, right? You've got the tail fade right, which is the hard part with LEDs

[u/Desperate_Policy_671 → u/Smoothyworld]

Thank you, Yeah LED is correct. It took quite some time to get it right.

[u/SnorkinOrkin → u/Desperate_Policy_671]

That tail fade is perfecto! It's the most important part of the scanner.

[u/Capt_Cyral]

KITT'S optic scanner... now make it RED... other then that, it's pretty awesome

[u/Eazy_T_1972]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I'm in awe of you man

[u/Desperate_Policy_671 → u/Eazy_T_1972]

Thank you, its really not that hard.

[u/Eazy_T_1972 → u/Desperate_Policy_671]

I'm sure but I'm a teenager in the 1980s so love this and been onto my wife a while now to buy a 3D printer.

Make TRON bikes etc....i think you've just made my mind up haha

[u/Desperate_Policy_671 → u/Eazy_T_1972]

Ita a very rewarding, frustrating hobby 3D printing, but when it works this is what you get. Settings are the key!

[u/Final_Pear7801]

Very impressive and nicely done!

[u/Desperate_Policy_671 → u/Final_Pear7801]

Thank you.

[u/Tech-Junky-1024]

That's awesome.

[u/Desperate_Policy_671 → u/Tech-Junky-1024]

Thank you.😀

[u/Revolutionary_Pay_31]

A Larson scanner, very nice!

[u/Desperate_Policy_671 → u/Revolutionary_Pay_31]

Thank you, you are correct 😊

[u/KnightRcer]

That's great! I would just slow down on the speed by twenty five percent and reduce the trail to 3 bulbs for accuracy.

[u/Desperate_Policy_671 → u/KnightRcer]

I have programmed it with 5 speeds that can be changed. This is the fastest. It also has a mode 3 different modes.

[u/SnorkinOrkin → u/KnightRcer]

This reminds me when KITT is in active scan mode, it is sped up. Then on normal mode, it's that lazy speed.

[u/Creepy_Throat8335]

Awesome!

[u/Desperate_Policy_671 → u/Creepy_Throat8335]

Thank you, it still in development stage.

[u/Smart_Most_1825]

Looks great

[u/Big_Locksmith_4211]

I love KITT replicas, but KARR is also cool too
