Recycled Scanner Hack!

I was expecting a spacecraft, but a lamp will do just fine! Great video...

The coolest part about the video isn't that you can make a light. The coolest part is simply realizing that there are a lot of essentially free parts you can get just by taking apart the old scanner. Nice work!

I love you kikpay, you have best videos over internet!

I bet you never throw anything away with the skilz you got! I keep waiting for you to dig that old 8 track out and show us how to power our homes with it!

I hate trying to see my black keyboard in the dark too!

i reviewed it and uhh kip your video rules better than all of my submissions

but not being offensive or anything, but is that your real voice?

this is a very interesting video... now I have a new project to do... to make some light for my keyboard... all I need right now is some old scanner :))

is almost as bad as mine! Mine is filled with old computer and Mil-GPS crap. Spring cleaning is a concept that is lost on me. I think it's due to my parents growing up in the depression era. They didn't throw anything away either.

Garage/Shed FULL with random things kip? lol, im suprised your wife didnt tell you to throw this stuff out, or did she? :O

I love your hacks dude! Keep up the good work!

You Did It Again Kippy

freeze the video during the first few seconds and try to figure out everything Kip's got in his "parts closet"?

How long can the scanner lamp be kept on?
Is it safe to keep the lamp on for a long time, i mean any bad rays coming out of it?

1 more NICE video 5*s

wikid you should by a mini max from argos and an old infred phone and change it to increase the range

yeah you have some good ideas great job, 5 stars

chilo e l video

get ur own TV show!!! ur awsome kip!!!

this guy must be a serious nerd

Never Though Recycled Scanner can be so useful man.. great Jop..

HACK?

any idea as to how much current the lamp draws?

u must have a great job - so creative and imaginative... i wish u were a friend of mine!

Will this thing burn out after a few minutes use? And will it burn a hole in the plastic cover?

thats cool
but dangerous

Your name ain't Kipkay I think is MacGyver!

Will this Scanner Lamp give my balls cancer, or it will just can them?

too many steps, ill just marvel at your creativeness and go on about my life

even though i could never assemble those things, you videos are always fun to watch!

Amazingly inventive,... I hope you can invent "The Way-Back Machine" ,... remember Mr. Peabody & Sherman ?Sorry, that's probably before your time. Anyway 5 *'s, great vid.

Another Good Video !
Another 5 stars

I can tell you put a lot of work into your videos , unlike a lot of people on Metacafe you don't need to dance in your underwear to get viewers.

I went looking for my old scanner and when I opened the closet door...

Now I've got one HELL of a mess!!! I had to work for half an hour just tryin to get the damned door closed!

I have one of this at home, i will try to do this

First time I´ve commented, but like them all, well done again !!

Since I got one of those "all-in-one" printer's I have a left over scanner. I was going to toss it but not now!! I see them all the time at garage sales too for like $2.

I was just about to throw a scanner out, thought it was pretty much useless. Thanks!

i did it chek my vid

I done it and got a electric shock

if ur good enough, you build a program to control the stepper motor in the scanner.. hook 2 up with a laser.. and youve got an automatic laser cutter.. if you have just one.. settle for some scanner music... i did this with a floppy drive.. doesnt make music too well..

made me smart i am only 12 and i learned so much from you

if the scanner's light is bad for your eyes...

Good thinking KK !

you and your great videos. got i cant stop watching them.

where do you get all your ideas?

I'm impressed by your videos. Where do you get all the ideas?

Kipkay, where do you get all the time to make this stuff. Do you have a regular type job? I know it must take hours and hours to plan then make the item, also to video tape and edit everything.

Or if its to dark to see your keyboard, try turning the light on.

is just in it for the money

coo coo

I LIKE IT ,5 STAR
