I'll attempt to start exporting some STL files to Thingiverse and update this post with the links. Thanks!

I've been working on a 3D model of the RGB PKE meter based on Kingpins plans for a while now. Tyrael's Giga Meter and now countspatula's Ghost Trap really gave me the push to publish this post in hopes to get more 3D models out there for everyone to build from:
The goal of this projects is to create a "working" PKE meter that has the following features:
- 3D printable (minimal overhangs and ease of assembly)
- LCD screen with animated effects of different modes we see in the cartoon
- Servo controlled wings with LED lights
- Sound effects pulled directly from the cartoon
I just finished the base model and have begun working on how the internals will mount the electronics and drive arms. I plan to run everything off of a Raspberry Pi Zero that will drive the LCD, servos, and LEDs directly.
If there's anyone interested in helping teach me how to write the animated screen I'd really appreciate it. I plan to control the servos and LEDs using Python so it would be nice if it could get rolled into that.
Once I get the models finalized and successfully printed, I'll release the STL and source files here for people to modify and print from if they'd like.
Let me know your thoughts and comments!
