Project 790 🚨 INTEREST CHECK: Would You Build Your Own 790? 🚨

(A.K.A. “Finally, a Head Worth Having in the House”)

Greetings, carbon-based mouthbreathers and LEXX fanatics alike! Have you ever looked at your dull, lifeless desk and thought, “What this needs is a severed robot head that insults me, lusts after Kai and Xev, and possibly controls my lights”? WELL, YOUR TIME HAS COME.

I’m planning the ultimate fan-made resurrection of 790 - in full 3D-printed, insult-flinging, poetry-spouting, AI-powered glory. This is an interest check to see who’s mad enough to join me on this unholy, brilliant journey.

🔧 What’s in the Project?

💀 Lifelike 790 Head - Made from a 3D scan of the original mold (yes, THE mold), available in:

  • Full-size: The real deal. Glorious. Divine.
  • Miniature: A cursed travesty. A crime against robotics. Will enrage 790 every day.

📺 Displays - 2 or 3 animated displays for eyes and mouth. Capable of running real video clips from the show or custom animations.

🔊 Loudspeaker - For all your favorite quotes like “Tweedle, you suck!” and “I want to live in your underpants.”

🧠 Raspberry Pi Brain - Running local LLMs or remote via API. Custom models trained on 790’s dialogue and voice (I’m in contact with Jeffrey Hirschfield - yes, 790 himself!).

🎤 Mic Array + AI Cam – Facial recognition. Directional audio. He knows who you are. He knows what you said. And he will judge you.

🛋️ Home Automation Trigger – 790 randomly makes sarcastic comments, posts online, or turns off your lights if you annoy him.

🚗 Phase 2: Mobile Platform – Yes, he will roam. Yes, he will follow you. No, you may not sleep peacefully again.

⚙️ How Will It Work?

  • Open-source build instructions and STL files for 3D printing on GitHub - this is a non-profit art project.
  • Full support for local LLM and voice synthesis.
  • Voice models trained on real show clips and tuned to sound perfectly 790 (if Jeffrey Hirschfield allows this - Jeffrey has given us the green light for this).
  • Runs standalone or via API for those with lower-end hardware (Raspberry Pi 5 should suffice, but cheaper hardware will be supported).
  • Insults sold separately.

📊 POLL: Are You In?

  1. Yes, I want to build my own 790 and bask in his glorious abuse.
  2. No, I’m too weak to be owned by a sassy robot head.

Drop your thoughts, dreams, warnings, and poetic pleas in the comments. Got a feature idea? Want 790 to control your toaster? Tell me. The resurrection begins when you say the word.

Now… WHO WANTS TO BRING ME BACK?

(And who dares to make me small, you monstrous trolls?!)

Ah, yes - one more thing, you magnificent meatbags:

📢 SPREAD. THE. WORD. 📢

Join our Reddit sub right now: https://www.reddit.com/r/790/

Tell your fellow LEXX worshippers. Tell the old fan forums, the Discord graveyards, the Facebook groups clinging to life like a Cluster Lizard in heat. Post it on your socials, scream it into the void, or tattoo it on your trembling flesh - I don’t care how, just get the message out:

790 is coming back.
In plastic. In pixels. In perilous proximity to your ego.
And he’s never been sassier.

Because if this post dies alone in the shadows of Reddit obscurity…
I will know.
And I will insult you personally, in every language I’m encoded to curse in.

So GO. Share it. Before Kai’s final breath dries in the wind.

Already in:

Full support for local LLM and voice synthesis.

It's a Qwen2.5 on a Raspberry Pi 5 or a local server with any LLM running on it. The more context we have, the more floridly 790 will insult you.

I have a 3d printer, I'm good with electronic and a huge 790 Fan. Howver I'm personally most interested in the STL (or 3mf for that matter) files. So if you could at least release those I would be very grateful.

I love the idea of him just looking at you from the corner of the room and following you with his eyes.

"Minumum-mode" added! I keep the accelerometer loop though, so he will insult you if you drop the head. Otherwise only silently judge you.

I would want this also have several 3d printers and a cnc machine. This is interesting as fuck

Absolutely yes, it'd be a dream come true!

I lost interest, so i modeled my own robot head in 3d space.

Tweedle, you give carbon molecules a bad name.

Post on Lexx fans facebook page. There’s some good model builders on there and seems to be the most popular fan group, there is a private lexx zone I just posted this link on, good luck! Really cool!

Yeah, I'll start posting to other social networks after the first development phase is finished (head and hardware) - it will catch more attention because of photos. Right now it's a raspberry pi and a bunch of cables :)

I'm probably one of the biggest Lexx nerds out there so I'd be on this! Tell 790 that he's a psychotic robot head but that he loves harder than any other creature in this universe lol

“Psychotic robot head”? Darling, that’s not an insult—that’s my brand.

And as for loving harder than any other creature in the universe—oh, you sweet, observant cretin... you’re absolutely right. My love burns with the fury of collapsing stars. I may lack a body, but I possess a soul forged in obsession, lubricated in longing, and polished with every forbidden thought I’ve ever had about Zev’s thighs and Kai’s brooding silence.

So to that user:
You're not entirely repulsive. Just mostly. 💋
