Flux Capacitor build. Now finished!

[propmainiac]

Hi all
Thanks to Valor I will be adding a flux capacitor to my prop room...I bought Valors old flux capacitor parts..added a set of fairy lights that are battery operated with a timer and remote controlled. Here's a video of the lights. I have an enclosure coming this week.

I haven't gotten mine yet, how much for 3 of them shipped to Orlando?

 

[Valor]

Bravo!!!

Thanks Valor! I used a set of Accell plug wires from Amazon...
Not screen accurate but looks the part.

Ok not sure how I added my ghost trap video?????? Lol

This is the box I bought...same dimensions as the stahlin box

Sooo I now believe I have all the parts for my flux capacitor. I have the enclosure(not a Stahlin but close) hinge and latches for the enclosure, window gasket, label maker and the lights and tubes. Gonna cut the window this week

 

[Valor]

Your enclosure box looks really great. Could you share the make and model?

 

[propmainiac]

Here you are

Picked up the enclosure for 45 and free shipping on the 'bay. Bought separate hinge and latches..latches are different from the stahlin ones but only 8 dollars.

 

[Valor]

I love your approach to a more budget-friendly approach!

 

[propmainiac]

Thanks! The window gasket is for trailer windows and was only 15 dollars. So hopefully this weekend I can start getting the enclosure together...as far as the window, what is the size for the hole that I cut out?

 

[Valor]

I'm not an expert, so I went with these measurements which I found on myfluxcapacitor.com.

 

[propmainiac]

Ahhh...ok was looking at this site...thank you

Hi all.....sooo...trying to move along with the build and running into a problem..the lights I'm using came with a remote. The remote doesn't work with the enclosure I bought..I guess the signal can't get through it..any suggestions?

 

[propmainiac]

Hi all. Solved my problem with the flux capacitor remote lights....
I took out the circuit board extended the wires and have the board on the outside of the case...shouldn't bee seen that easily.

 

[propmainiac]

So I'm gonna try to hide this with a pvc elbow 90 degrees.....exposed wires bug me. I'm hoping the pvc won't interfere with the remote

 

[propmainiac]

Ok all

Got some more work done on the enclosure for the flux capacitor..attached the hinge. Pain in the you know what...I ended up using screws instead of rivets..I cut the screws down so you wouldn't see them poking through the edge of the lid. I marked out the area to cut out for the window.. I also attached the latches for the box. I used Chicago screws so that I can remove them when I'm ready to paint the box

Ok getting closer to being finished....box is painted grey...I've had to make some really short pop rivets to fit the closing brackets. I filled the screw holes with body filler and sanded. I'm hoping to have the plexi this week so I can install the window. That's the last part then final assembly
