As quarantine has dragged on I've been revisiting a few props I build years ago. One of those is the Flux Capacitor I made about 7 years ago. I build it off the best info I had at the time. But there are things I want to improved.
Pics here are the current state. A fine flux, but a few things to redo:
Pics here are the current state. A fine flux, but a few things to redo:
- The color: I used a gray that is too dark
- The Torr Relays:
- Upon inspection I'm about 1/8" too small in diameter and 1/4" too short.
- Also, I really want these to be real brass!
- I'll be rebuilding the glass relay tubes out of acrylic tubes and spheres.
- The Elbow Connectors: I used 2 simple plumbing elbows originally. I want to create the set of three connectors that are commonly shown. I'll be modelling the two obscure elbows in 3D and printing them on my resin printer.
- Latches: My box came without latches. The door is held on with velcro, which is fine. But I'd like to get my hands on two latches.
