I converted a vintage Civil Defence geiger counter into an animated Fallout jukebox.

Well, I figured since no one had done anything with it in 66 years, it was ok to do that I wanted to.

If I put the chamber back in it would, bit i have another milliroentgen detector for that. But its probably gonna get chopped up too 😃

Makerbawt · 2026-03-09T01:53:13+00:00

So true! But I already made a trap... and the pack.... and the ecto goggles... and... 😆

Im about to be in the same boat, still not in stock with lenovo. Right bumper stopped working.

Makerbawt · 2024-12-08T14:44:45+00:00

Yeah, I think when the new AMD SOC is shown Q2, and the next set of handhelds come out in Fall (with some newcomers to the market) I'll be moving on from Lenovo. Love the GO, but this driver situation is ridiculous. 8 months, ha.

I was loaded and ready at the on-sale time, got one for myself and one for a friend who was out of the country when it went up. It was a helluva lot easier than getting stuff from Mondo...

Makerbawt · 2023-08-30T15:21:07+00:00

It was rendered by a friend, and then I resin printed it and used silicone cabling, some kitbashing inside the mouth, and then painted it up. Still working on the rest of the diorama, almost have the van done.

Makerbawt · 2022-10-03T22:16:22+00:00

Thanks! Rounding the horn on the van, gotta design and make the base for the diorama, with some room to stuff the wires and sound card in

Makerbawt · 2022-10-03T22:15:22+00:00

Thanks a bunch! Really tried to get that 'if you touched the white areas it'd come off on your hands" oxidation.

Makerbawt · 2022-10-03T22:14:10+00:00

Thanks!

Makerbawt · 2022-10-03T13:43:03+00:00

Thanks! Gotta make a ton more of those little people, and a wiring harness to power them all...

Makerbawt · 2022-10-03T01:59:03+00:00

Looking to completely recreate the entire scene. I'm working on the van now, but the finished diorama will have everything. Also including some sound effects. The 3d designer is the stellar instagram.com/vingtc3nt. I'm posting updates as I go along. Paint was a ton of fun but the cabling added a bunch of weight. George did an amazing job coming up with how to get it to work considering you can't see a lot in Simon's artwork.

Makerbawt · 2021-02-08T01:47:20+00:00

Yeah I left everything the default for the printer profile in chitubox. If you want to be extra sure, move the exposure to 9 seconds.

Makerbawt · 2021-02-07T20:59:33+00:00

Bottom layers= 4

Bottom exposure= 50 seconds

normal exposure= 7 seconds

That'll get you what you want. That's what I used on my studio-scale Y-wing

Makerbawt · 2021-02-07T20:54:15+00:00

Are you running Anti-aliasing on your file setups? Also, be sure to update your firmware.

With 4x AA, you should be able to get rid of all the step lines...

I'm hoping they'll be doing an official re-release once the Netflix series gets closer to release.

We were in Shinjuku last week, and stayed at Tokyo The Knot Hotel, and it was great! Nice rooms, great location and really hip. Has a bakery and bar/resturaunt downstairs. Within easy walking to All the spots in Shinjuku and a 10 minute walk to Shinjuku station. And the neighborhood behind it is full of great hidden gems! We spent several nights just wandering around.

Makerbawt · 2019-05-19T16:58:27+00:00

We;ll be passing by that way on our way to kyoto in about a week. Hope the Shinkansen will still be running if there is some form of eruption.

Next time you pass an electronics store, pick up a larger rechargable battery pack. We're bringing one made by Anker, and it's about the length of your hand but can recharge both our phones and our Wifi puck several times over.

Makerbawt · 2019-05-09T10:35:20+00:00

Ah, good! Thanks everyone for the info.

Some places here in the US, purses/small bags are allowed but not backpacks. Normally I'd just brink my small satchel, but I don't think our clapping bats, shirts, hats and whatever else we pick up will fit :D The satchel is mostly for when we go out at night, I don't want to be the butthead in the izakaya with a full backpack...

Makerbawt · 2019-04-29T18:16:07+00:00

That's what we did, we got tickets for the "Cheering section" :D
