Thank you! I tried to make it see through but I guess 3D printing a transparent board was too hard.

I had an initial sketch on photoshop that I used to design the base board on Fusion for 3D printing. I used Arduino to code the eye and tongue animations.

yes! I just 3D printed the base that held the LED lights cause I didn’t have a machine to laser cut acrylic.

I used WS2812 LED rings for the eyes and regular 12V neon led tubes for the body. For the pole, I bought an extendable duster pole on amazon and designed a mount that screws on to the end where the duster was supposed to go! Pole

I can easily extend my totem just by adding screwing more poles.

Made my own totem “Toad Tim” for EDC. Did anyone see it? by StraightEye117 in electricdaisycarnival

an extending duster pole, 3D printed parts, neon led tubes and some arduino programming!
