Sting !

As soon as I got back from my mini vacation a few days ago, I started with something to kickstart  my "attention to detail" skill, so I figured I'd finally make one that was very long due, especially since now Jack Oakes has provided me with some very detailed references . Thank you Jack !!! Good references are always the biggest obstacle when making good 3d models , so this was very much appreciated.  


It goes without saying the elvish inscriptions and the vines on ...

Budget screen for the pip boy

In case there is someone who doesn't want to mess with electronics and is worried about damaged hardware, I have another solution for you :) 


You might find this familiar , as I first introduced the budget screen version back on the Baylan Skoll vambraces. 



The budget screen is a lenticular print that's basically made of 2 images, so when you move the "screen" up/down the images change. 



That created an illusion that you have a...

Power fist assembly videos

So, i added 2 little videos to help you with the power fist build :) 

This is the assembly video of the servo part of the build

To the Fallout Power fist folder i have uploaded another video, the full assembly, of course a timelapse, just as a way to help you see what goes where and how i did what i did D 

Few important things on the sevo building part :) 


- Pin 10 on the arduino - is for the LEFT servo 

- make s...

Ready for download :D

Aaaaaand one, as promised :D haha

So this one uses the 360 servo instead of the regular 180 - the difference is that 180 can "remember" the positions, while the 360 one can not, so it can move in one of the other directions indefinitely. That also means that once rotated back/forth the steps might get "lost" here and there and the servo would lost "track",  so I fixed that by adding a certain step/rotation value in the code, and stoppers for back and forth so no m...

Morotized Vambrace -right - almost done :D

Finally, I am able to show you a functionality test of the one you all have been waiting for 😁

It's the right motorized vambrace. The test looks good, files are good, everything is good, so I would just kindly ask to give me another day to make the assembly maps, parts list and components, wire diagram, code, and you know... the usual stuff :)

Now, I just have to mention that here, instead of the standard 180 servo, I'm using the 360/continuous ser...

Power fist in action ! :D

Love it when the print works just like i imagined it in my mind :D 

This is a just a quick functionality showcase, but love this thing so much :D 

Im also making a video showing you how to insert the servo's as that's the most complicated part so i hope it will help :)

Let me see yours :D :D

High republic jedi belt buckles

Finally managed to watch the first 2 episodes of Acolyte. 

Added to "we are makers" June 2024 folder

So there was one thing that you already suggested in the FB group and was an obvious choice for a quick project :) Now those are simple, however still quite detailed, and I'm sure you will find them good for more High republic jedi outfits :) 

We have several belt buckles:  Indara's, Jecki's, Sol's and Yord's. 

You will also find 2 versions ...

Fallout Power fist :)

Ready for printing - added to June 2024 folder :)

Now this was very extensive, there are 89 parts for functional version and 72 parts for non functional version ( well actually a bit more as some small details are combined for ease of use :D ) 

I have printed out most of the parts , but still have a few more, so there will be an assembly video and functionality video soon, but i just couldn't keep you waiting any longer :) 

Included:
- non functional s...

Almost done :D

Thank you for the patience on such huge projects :) i've been at this one day and night, and oh damn its gonna be impressive once done :D

That being said it is almost done, i am test printing some parts and correcting offsets to make sure it all works flawless, so i kindly ask for 2-3 days more until i manage to get it all ready :D

In the video you can see the functionality of the Power fist. I have simplified it a bit so its still functional but sturdy and practical enough so...

Sneak peek :D

ok, you talked me into it :D haha

Just a quick preview of something I'm working on right now. If you didn't recognize it right away it's the Fallout Power fist :D

This is still a very early stage, I'm designing the proportions and scale fitting now, and doing research and concept design of the functionality.

oh and yes, it's gonna be another functional / motorized / electronics build , but thats all i can share for now :D

Should be ready at the beginning of this up...

SW Outlaws - 7 projects added

yup, 7 projects added today :D  As you most likely know a new SW game is on the way, and game creators have surprised us with a nice "preview" of what's to come. 

Main character's name is Kay Vess, and these are all the hard parts needed to cosplay the character. However,  cosplaying the character was not the only intention for making those. I made them because I thought they were "random" enough to be used in various costumes and props for your builds.&nb...

N5's blaster

I know i keep jumping back and forth between projects, but this is one of those that was planned for a while so finally managed to get to it :D 

As you most likely know a new SW game is in the making. Star Wars Outlaws, so there was a little teaser for the fans - what we can expect in the game. In that teaser there are several items that we got to see, and that I've been working on, and this one is just one of them. I hope to be able to make the rest by the end of t...

Some magic ready for download :)

I'm having so much fun with these functional props lately , I've finally decided to bring to life another idea I had quite a while back but never managed to get to :)

As some of you know i’m a huge harry potter fan, so wizarding gear is always fun for me to work on

I’ve seen people attempt these “light up” wands, but they always look so huge and the LED is exposed so it doesn't really look magical. So my idea was to make a wand that on the outside looks like a regular w...

How to upload the code + discord mods

Hey guys, a quick tutorial on how to upload the code to arduino uno, and some tips on some "Problems" you might have encountered

1 - if you get error "library missing", just instal the library as shown in the video

2 -  micro SD card - recommended is 16 GB - dont go higher than 32 GB, board will have trouble reading it

3 - if your color of the screen is reversed, just delete/comment out the line as shown in the video

Plug in, upload, play with the pip bo...

G13 and G123 added to the Helldivers arsenal :)

Taking a little break from the "functional" props :D but not for long :) 

As you recall, 2 months ago I made the 6 grenades from the Helldivers 2 game that had the "jumping" lever . SInce then, I have been told there was an expansion pack released, with 2 more grenades, so to make sure you have the entire set, I created those 2 as well :) 

The prints are rather straightforward, split so you can print them in color and no support needed :) 

The The...

Pip_A part replacement

Honest mistake guys, but no worries, no harm done, you can still use the part you have :) 

So thank you Gladys for pointing that out, the PIP_A part does not have the board distancers - that is a mistake on my behalf, by accident I uploaded the old "work in progress" part. 

it is now replaced with the correct one, so if you didn't print it yet, go ahead and redownload , but if you already printed it, no worries, i have a quick fix for you guys that doesnt require you t...

Pip boy is here :)

The moment you all have been waiting is finally here. Now you can build your own PIp boy 3000 MkV from the fallout series :)

You can find it in May folder that has been sent few moments ago, so in case you didnt get it yet, you will soon :)

But that's not all - it is being developed further, so more boards, graphics, codes, well everything will be added in the future , so this is without doubt the BEST MKV pip boy project on the planet :)

Included:
- 1:1 scale stl f...

Pip boy - live test :)

Now this has been so mindblowing, so many problems and solutions with this one, but I finally have something to show you guys :) 20 days in the making :D 


Now, it's almost ready, but when i was test building it i've noticed a few more problems that i need to redesign and solve, like trying to make it easier to access electronics, some offset tolerances, and stuff like that, so i will kindly ask for few more days so i can solve all of this and make the assembly and build guide ...

MMV01 - motorized vambrace ready for download

Sorry to have kept you waiting :) Now you can start building your own motorized vambrace :D Download link at the end of the post :)

I'm calling it MMV_01 - mysterymakers motorized vambrace, and the first in line.

It is designed for the left arm, I'll make one for the right one soon as well :)

I decided to approach this in a way it would be easiest for you to follow and make. All the components are hidden on the inside of the gauntlet, and you have easy access to the power...

Motorized gauntlet coming soon !!!

By now i think you already know if i'm quiet for a whiles something crazy is being made :D

Working on pip boy inspired me to dive a bit more into electronics and such, so while i'm waiting for a few more components to arrive I didn't waste any time and decided to finally bring an "old" idea of mine to life.

Functional mandalorian gauntlet , motorized, with open source code, instructions, all of it so you can build your own. And you can see the first test here

These kin...

Update on the pip boy - the good and the bad :D

Figured id let you know how I spent my past few days :)

As promised working on the new pip boy, and OH boy, now that's an interesting one to tackle :) It's gonna be much more work than I thought, but I think it will be well worth it in the end, so I just wanted to show you the updates and what I've been working on and why these projects take so long to make when done right :)

Sometimes I'm surprised how many different areas I need to be fluent in to make it happen, like 3d mod...

10 mm trigger showcase

Finally managed to put it all together and show you guys what the working trigger looks like

If you wish to see full assembly, check the video on my IG here

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6E9SdXKDwk/?igsh=Mm91aDE0Zng3NGJj

Also, quick info - cut the springs in half for the trigger mechanism, you will be able to insert them much easier that way and the mechanism is qu...

Another 10 mm :)

Im on a Fallout frenzy :D 

The other 10 mm blaster was done and uploaded as well. Once again included are:

- functional trigger and hammer single action

- non functional version

- fully combined non functional version

- 3mf functional trigger project files

- 3mf non functional trigger option files

- assembly guide and instructions 

A bit about this blaster. This one was first seen in the Fallout 4 game, however they have adjust...

Wich one would like me to finish first ?

Hey guys, this will be quick - as you know i do all the design work you see here myself to ensure the quality as well usability and support are unmatched, but that also means i can only be in 1 place at the same time. So I have several open projects as well as many requests for new ones and I've pinned it down to the most popular ones, so I would like to know which one would you like me to finish first ?

Ofcourse i will still add more projects, these are just the ones that are the most...

10 mm :D

Yesss, another cool blaster, and you guessed it, another functional print :) 

It's the iconic 10 mm blaster from Fallout , this one a little remix version from the original in the game, and its the one that we got to see in the show and I just had to make one as accurate as possible . I also couldn't help it but I had to make the single trigger action possible with this one, so you can play around with it :) 

As a designer my goal is not only to make pretty f...

Holster in action

Here it is,the test print, well, functionality test :)

I know i know, the thigh plate is waaay too low, but it was a super quick setup so i can show it to you in action :)

And how cool is that westar action ? 😁

Westar holster

Ok Mando's here it is :D

You have asked me for 3d printable holsters many many times, and  usually i would say something like "holsters should be leather, bla bla bla :D ", buuuut i've finally caved in , and made the printable holsters for you :D

The westar 35 is most likely the most badass blaster we've seen on screen when it comes to star wars, so i hope to make the holster reflect that.

I've designed it so it can be mounted to bo katan thigh plate with screws and ...

Fallout time :D

Ok this was one of the most technically challenging project i might have created so far , but daaaaamn it's gonna be a badass piece, and since you've asked for some fallout stuff, there will be more :D

If you ever wondered what 50 work hours looks like on a single 3d modeling project, here it is :)

I spent quite some time on the build approach so in the end all of it could be easy to print, but also easy to put together and actually be strong enough to use! Don't want this ...

Glamdring and new months folder link

New months folder has been sent out, you should get it soon if you haven't already :) 

IMPORTANT INFO - from now on, first time members will get this month, as well previous month releases ( example March and April) !!!
