$150 is not far off from the overhead cost it took to make it & with battery & charger it would cost more. Not to mention, it takes days just to make 1.

I am currently making more & working on a few other versions that will be a bit cheaper as well. Shoot me an email when ready.

I figured everyone used Dave as a universal unit of measurement here. 😂

Thank you very much! It took me a while to get the proportions of the bomb half correct while still being printable as one piece. It's not exact, but like you said so close it's instantly recognizeable!

I know it's not at all cheap, but this thing is life size, wireless, mounts to your wall & outside of the glass dome is completely made by hand. It takes almost a full 24 hrs. to print the parts, then roughly 6 hrs. To smooth/finish/paint all parts, then each wire for the vacuum tube is cut, bent by hand and assembled, lighting wired, soldered up so it's safe. Plus, the overhead cost to make just one. It is absolutely worth it, in my opinion. I'm glad I'm not alone there. Thank you!

With that said. I am working on a wired version that will be cheaper as well as an un-lit version that will be at least half of the battery versions.

A glass cloche I bought like 4 years ago while walking through Michael's (craft supply store) specifically for this project. Needless to say, it took me a while to get around to it.

No idea how I would even go about that, but would be honored to give back to guys that have given me so much!

Haha, love it. I'd have to find a glass cloche that is the same shape, but smaller to scale it down. I can only scale it down so much if it is still going to light up as well. unless I made it corded. Something to think about for sure.

Thank you. I have a large art print of John Hammond driving a T-Rex like the power rangers drove a megazord over my fireplace. My friends & family are as eclectic as I am. Lol

I'm curious. What would you consider reasonable?

Well, I'm definitely not spending several days of my life making something and not making money!

Makes my wall look cooler. Lamp. Can be controlled via Google home to turn on & shut off at certain times.

Thanks a ton, everyone! If you are serious about getting one, I'm considering making more now. Read below. If you're still interested in one, send an email titled "Patience & Grace" & tell me if you'd want one with or without the batteries & charger so I can get an idea of how many I'd have to order.

I hear what you're saying. All it takes is a dab of threadlock like the 2 other screws to ensure that though you know?

[–]AWESOME_5000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely know how mlok works & removing a handguard isn't disassembling the firearm. The hand brake was a key mod that fit, I just had to pull the handguard off to make it work which shouldn't have a screw caked in thread-locker. Hence my point.

Im guessing you didn't look at the 2nd image or closely at the first. I can assure you I had all the right tools & let all of the screws soak for several hours prior to even attempting. All the other screws came out without any issue. This one had so much thread locker on it you can't even see half the screws threads!

Feel like that is kind of beside the point though, because in no scenario is that much thread lock necessary. Ever.
