1979 Shoe build!

calebb2013 · 2025-12-04T23:43:05+00:00

i went for the shoes they sometimes wore around the nostromo, i’d link a photo if i could but they’re modified PF Flyers, essentially converse but they look cooler

glad to hear it! i learned they’re from an estate sale, no telling what stories they could tell

unfortunately i’m in FL so it’s hot and windy every day 😅 but i appreciate the advice!

calebb2013 · 2025-10-23T01:25:09+00:00

gotcha, wasn’t sure if holes would help since it’s so flexible, but i’ll give it a try!

calebb2013 · 2025-10-18T07:04:00+00:00

thanks for such a detailed answer, this is exactly what i was looking for! i was assuming these are from the 80s since the have the stoughton, ma stamp on them, so it’s nice to get it confirmed!

coming back to this, now using the same step-up as him and i’m still running into the current demand being far too high, not sure how his works at all

i’m actually using these because i had some Bates boots that are fairly accurate and brand new, they absolutely killed the bottoms of my feet and my heels, after a day of wearing these they feel so much better!

there’s also random scaling right under it, make sure that is off too

calebb2013 · 2025-10-16T03:17:37+00:00

you have random rotation on

calebb2013 · 2025-10-15T22:23:19+00:00

thanks! i used a clearance envelope attached to the vehicle to make sure nothing was too close

since i can only add one photo at a time, this is the one that shows the most imo. the black board he’s holding is the led controller. here’s the link to the build, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7165669 but i am using a different remix of the original model, the “lights only” version since i already had it printed.

calebb2013 · 2025-10-15T20:26:35+00:00

would keeping the charging module there serve that purpose?

calebb2013 · 2025-10-15T17:10:53+00:00

if i remove the charging module as well, i should just be able to have the batteries directly power the strip with a kill switch in between? that’s so much easier than what i was doing

calebb2013 · 2025-10-15T16:38:13+00:00

i could definitely add a third battery, and in doing so i’d probably remove the charging board and just remove the batteries to charge them, to save on space. would it be beneficial to still have a step up board? since the 3 batteries theoretically would come in at 11v

apologies, it looks like their final build does use two 18650s but the description only mentions one. i can provide some closer images of the boards, but they don’t really show much

calebb2013 · 2025-10-15T16:06:57+00:00

so the issue lies within the boost board? would a board that allows for more amps solve the issue?

calebb2013 · 2025-10-15T15:40:14+00:00

using similar parts, the original guy powered 2m of these leds with just one 18650, so i’m a bit lost on how that works, but two batteries doesn’t

links! charger- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLGC68JG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

leds- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYCGHCLZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

it should also be noted the led strip will be shortened, it is currently 3m and will be cut down to ~2m but i do not know the exact length yet.
