Yes!! Fantastic I’m in

If I have to I’ll buy a 3d printer just to have this haha, no joke

Please make this happen

What I love most is how much more clear it makes when to shoot the chest... that’s one thing I still get thrown off on as you have to rely on inserts. Not only is is visually and mechanically awesome, it’s actually a gameplay improvement.

buying a 3D printer just for this, that's how bad i need this in my game.

Man I can not wait to get this in my game. So I actually have the majority of the parts so going to build my own... one key part I am still a little unsure on is the chest Bracket(s).

It would appear the original bracket on the trunk lid was modified, and another bracket was added and bent to a 90?

the bracket may have been made but the main part in that picture I am pretty sure is the original trunk bracket?
i have a blow torch and that is how i would bend it... wonder if the bracket would be strong enough if 3D printed at high density.

Great harryhoudini the part that I’m still confused on - and seems to be lightly documented and no stl file for is the trunk bracket not the servo mount. Do you have that file?

Awesome harryhoudini I’m the meantime I ordered a replacement trunk lid bracket and going to bend mine and test then possibly see if I can make a 3D printed version that is strong enough, this would be great also as it reduces a lot of weight

I’m still learning 3D printing but from what I gather the integrity and strength has a lot to do with the orientation of the part on the printing bed. Also the layer height, and infil (the density of the inside the walls) but as I said I’m kinda new to it

My 3D Printer is on the way! Pumped I wanted one anyway this just gave me more of an excuse to get one

Think I’m going to fork the OP’s code and add support for toggling and led strip on and off for those of us that have an led strip in the trunk
Also anyone know where he sources the 5v power from? What connection on backbox?

KornFreak28 he is making a bracket to hold the arduino for the chest meck

Is the kit including the trunk lid bracket? Still yet to see that

Did you tap into the power box / line filter box?

Looks awesome!! pinballj I think that will end up working great and be a significant weight savings.

I’ve been thinking more about the power supply... could also get a 12v to 5v regulator and then just tap into any 12v source

So far so good servo working.

I agree this is complex, but I’m excited to get it going... however I’m more into DIY “projects” and I know that’s not for everyone

harryhoudini this one comes up as 3 position

I have a pretty accurate ai version as well based off the original bracket to the 1/4 mm

Test print, arm needs to be longer

Hahaha nice harryhoudini I’m liking your bracket design looks great. I’m just doing it for fun... first time using s 3D printer, kinda fun to measure and print tests

Nice! I was going to mention this, looks like the denounce added solves it?

Sorry yes I meant detach

I’m using pla, with a small spine... it’s string as heck and is only 3mm thick.

Are you powering the arduino through the usb, or the gnd and VIN pin

Awesome work! After about 4 hours of testing fitting, adjusting... think mine is a go! I’ll post a video soon as I get it rocking.

Lots of prototypes, but I got a solid final top bracket (4th one) with a spine and only 3.5mm thick

Anyone interested in the trunk lid bracket I made I put it up on Thinverse for folks.

My chest is up and running!
Few things, make sure to relocate the trunk wire harness in front of the bracket (towards the trunk) to provide adequate room for the linkage. Also, I mounted my Servo to the inside of the mounting hole, I tried both and on my machine this lined up better.

I have one on route, in my game room lol. It has been working great no problem.

I think it is interactive in the sense that the led is RGB, and blinks with the heartbeat.

Currently I have a red one in mine and it looks great, but I’m going to upgrade to the programmable one harryhoudini is selling.

Nice Trooper11040 now I j ow what you meant by the nubs breaking I have the older bracket

Great updates. Hey harryhoudini where can I find the code for the Rgb light? Thanks

Yes but not the code for the RGB LED “heartbeat” the current code does not include this
