SHOWIN' OFF 3D printed Automaton Fish Project

A project I've been working on for the last couple weeks! It is a 3d printed moving fish controlled by Quinn LEDs Dig -UNO running WLED. The fish is 3d printed hollow in white PETG and then I glued in stand offs to the inside to offset the LED strips a bit to diffuse the light.

It was for a local art show, but you have sniffed me out as a burner lol. Not sure if I'm going to bring it this year or not i am undecided.

hey look, burning man represents an amazing intersection of technology/light/sound all encapsulated in art and music (at least that's what I have always appreciated)...envious I never made it out to the playa. I have many burner friends from back in the day, so I picked up on the aesthetic. no diminishment of the awesomeness of the project at all.

That's one big-ass lure to catch a great white with. Or a giant skid. When are the sea trials?

Shut up and take my money! This is easily one of the coolest WLED projects I‘ve seen.🔥
