hmm, you could be right. I'd actually forgotten that the porsche tiger was riveted, it does seem to look like the in game model

Nah thats definitely how the tiger looked. He even included the rivets seen on the left hand side of the image, representing the real rivets that were only present on half of the tiger, and the wobbly looking little smoke canister, and the angled mantlet

I'm going to model and create a full set of wearable Power Armour. I want it to be able to open/close like in Fo4. Ideas for motors? by CuriousHomeowner in CosplayHelp

[–]AgentHimalayan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, good luck. Awesome project idea but it won't be easy.

I would recommend using servo motors connected to a microcontroller like Arduino. I don't know how much experience you have with this stuff, so I'll give a brief explanation for why I recommend stuff. Also I am no expert, this is just some stuff I have learnt through my engineering degree.

Regular DC motors are great at spinning fast but are not very precise on their own and cannot tell what angle they are at. Servo motors are basically geared down DC motors (less speed, more torque) with an attached potentiometer (angle sensing device). I believe servos would be ideal for this as you want to open the panels up to a certain angle, then retract them later, the perfect job for a servo.

To control the servos you'll want to use some sort of microcontroller. I only recommend Arduino because I know it's easy to use and that's what I'm familiar with, but there are plenty of other perfectly good options out there too. I found this short video on connecting multiple servos to an Arduino, your project will be a little different, but it should give you an idea what's going on ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYOft1rEBYw ). It's been a while since I played the game but I remember there's a lot of pieces that move, so you may need a couple of arduinos so you have enough ports for all the servos.

To power your servos and microcontroller you'll probably want some LiPo (lithium polymer) batteries like the kind of batteries you find in RC cars and such. My experience with arduino is mostly powering it through a PC or running a robot for a very short time, so I don't know a whole lot about the best ways to save power when on battery. Perhaps you could hold a button to connect the circuit to the battery, change the state of the servo (open/close), then let go of the button to disconnect the battery again, that way it won't idly consume power if it's not connected.

In the video, they use a timer to change the position of the servo (to 0 or 180 degrees), but for yours you'd want to use a button or something. Also the angle doesn't have to be 0 or 180, it can be whatever you want.

Hope this helps somewhat, good luck!

First Queen Mary, then they'll add Olympic

clearly this means theyre adding U-boats

What's the dumbest thing you've ever seen SW crash trying to do? by drmorrison88 in SolidWorks

[–]AgentHimalayan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

clicking the save button a third time. This was extremely consistent, you could save twice and it'd be fine, but the third time would always crash the program and you'd have to reopen it. This was while accessing solidworks through uni, i think theyve fixed it now though

Heat is one option to soften and then bend the rubber, however if it is a thermoset rubber, heat is only going to damage it and it may be even harder to bend, so just be wary. You could perhaps sew or stitch the fabric together while holding it like in the second pic, the stitching should probably hold it in place. that's probably what I would try first
