Lethal Weapon Dynamite Mod

Quoted from tilted81:
Looks good, it’s cool it actually works too! Most people may not want to blow up those drop targets tho... it could get expensive over time.

Well, it's an expensive hobby in any case. I wondered how long it would take to get a comment on the drop target. You did not disappoint! I expect the "worn out rubber" jokes to be next.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm thinking it would be about $100. It takes a while to make them. If I can come up with a quick way to make that rectangular hole for the timer in the dynamite sticks, it would be less. Right now I use a dremel cutting wheel and carve out the corners with an xacto knife. I'm thinking I need some sort of router template I can use with the router mounted on a router table.

I've decided to build 3 of them as a test run. I will sell them for $100 plus shipping. The wiring needed to hook up the 5V, activation sensor and install instructions will be included. I will try to make the install kit solderless. Depending on the time involved, I may have to raise the price in the future(after these 3) if I decide to make any more. I will sell these 3 to the first 3 people(one per person) to say that the want one on this thread. It's sounds like toasterman04 is number one, 2 more slots left. I won't ask for any money until I'm ready to ship.

You cant buy the "countdown clock" anywhere, I created and programmed it. Also, it's not just a countdown timer, it has 2 programs. The attract loop is triggered after 30 seconds of inactivity. The countdown program is triggered triggered by the dropdown target reset.

Hi TxJay, You got the last one for this batch. Also, If I make any more of these, the price is going up. It's taking me a lot more time than I anticipated.

Also TxJay, I saw your build thread, that is one beautiful LW3 you have there!

OK, thanks. My machine has some interesting wiring hacks, I just wanted to be sure you have that connector. That's where we'll tap the 5V for the mod.

I received mine yesterday. The build quality looks great. Funny, it was bigger than I was expecting. I don't know why, you have pictures of it mounted. I just never looked at it that close I guess. I will be installing it this weekend and I will post pictures of it.

One question. What method did you use to mount the TNT to the plastic? I have some ideas but just curious what you had done.

#33 5 years ago

DJP

dpannell

Pinside member

DOH! I knew I forgot something in the instructions. I used hot glue on top of the 2 plastic retaining post nuts. It's holding just fine for a couple of months now and it's removable. You probably could use a clear silicone caulk in a similar manner. Be sure to test the ramp clearance by rolling a ball down the wire ramp.

Regarding the size, the width is actually 1/4" shorter than mine. I felt like mine was a bit too wide. Let me know if you have any installation questions/challenges. I'm curious how the kit and instructions work for people.

I did not install the mod over this last weekend. I was looking at the way the power is being tapped into and I believe I have a better (easier) way to do that. Stay tuned and I will post if it worked or not.

That sounds great, would love to see an easier way! Just be sure to test first with a volt meter. The electronics will not tolerate anything over 5V DC.

I had a set back. My plug wouldn't power the mod. I have it powered by a wallwart on the service plug for now.

Is there no 5V at that connector? It sounds like TXJay has an alternate source for powering in any case. How's the mod working for you otherwise?

Yep, I am waiting for a part to come in and then I will hook it up. Once it is done I will let you know what it is. I ordered spares so if it works I can build more and ship it out to others that have the mod.
