Re: 3d Blade Runner Blaster
The screw is screen-accurate. The Weaver knob replaced it sometime later:

Re: 3d Blade Runner Blaster
Thank you that clears up one question for me. Its probably a blessing the sight rod broke. Might make it easier to run the wires

Re: 3d Blade Runner Blaster
Ok so I have leds now. Anyone have a line in the little switch that turns on the lights? Or the size?

Hi again
Did a little work today drilled out the hole for the large screw on the right side cylinder cover. Found this screw that has the right size and look. What was the screw there for? Just looks? Heres pics.

Re: 3d Blade Runner Blaster
Hi all
Still going on the blaster. Ive hollowed out the clip or magazine so I can fit leds and a battery. Went to my local electronics store here and came back with a tiny switch, coin cell battery, wires and resistors. Leds came from amazon. Id like to make the clip removeable but not sure if I have enough room in there for wires and resistors and the battery. Plus id like to have the onn off switch controll the green leds also. Im going to either have to make a separate switch for the green leds or wire them to the main switch. If I do that then i wont be able to remove the clip. I may place the coin cell battery in the handle under the grips. Any suggestions?

Re: 3d Blade Runner Blaster
Hello again
Used a breadboard and laid out my leds and resistors. Using 7 leds 5 red and two green. Have it worked out so that i can remove the clip and then use the switch to turn everything on! Ill post pics soon.

Re: 3d Blade Runner Blaster
Hello all
got a lot done tonight. Kind of experimenting here and i like the results. Wired up the battery in the mag holder. Used two peices of copper as my contact points. Then in the clip used two steel rivets for the other contact points. To test them i wired in a blue led then inserted the clip and it lit up! All this is so i can remove the clip if I want to. Heres pics

Re: 3d Blade Runner Blaster
Hi all
did a little more tonight. Started drilling out the clip for the leds and the switch. Also wired the green leds and fit them in the sight rod. Heres pics. Does anyone know if the switch is supposed to have the bezel or is that molded to the clip?

Re: 3d Blade Runner Blaster
Hello
well its slow going wiring the leds in. Never workd on something with as limited space as this. I have one resistor, the switch and led hooked up and the switch works. I need help with the sight rod wiring. Can anyone tell me how the wires are routed through to the battery? And how many wires? I have 4 coming from the sightrod but most pics I see only two. Thanks

Re: 3d Blade Runner Blaster
ALso, if you are using a 3v battery you shouldn't need any resistors.

Re: 3d Blade Runner Blaster
I thought so too but after burning out 4 red leds i figured out they were 2 or 2.2 volts. So un fortunately i have to use resistors. Tried wiring everything in last night but was unsuccessful. Using wire that is too big of a guage and too stiff. Found a site for the Sidkit assembly which shows the wiring instructions for the clip. Going to get smaller gauge wire and give it another shot. Thanks for the info Kokanee. So you only have two wires coming out of the sight rod?

Re: 3d Blade Runner Blaster
I might do away with the contact points and use small springs wired positive and negative. Or just forget the removable clip all together and wire it directly. Well see

Re: 3d Blade Runner Blaster
Ok so after two hours of work i have 5 leds that light up when I turn on the switch! I can remove the clip put it back in and it lights up. The wiring is ugly and soldering not so good but it works. The 5 mm led does not seem to light as bright as the 3 mm leds but im not gonna push it. Im gonna add the wires for the sight rod leds in the next couple of days.
