Hi everyone,
My first post . I want to build the beautiful trigger device they had in the movie and I am looking for some input regarding parts if anyone has any suggestions on sources. I think I will make it into an egg timer or maybe an alarm clock.
Has anyone else already started a project to build a replica of this thing?
My initial plan is to model the whole thing in the Fusion 360 and 3d print a mock up to get the size.
The rotary encoder and antenna on top seem quite standard as well as the flip trigger. However the red key thing and black thing below I can't quite place. The display appears to be an LCD with two different backlights or possibly an OLED.
I also don't have any high res screen caps so I can't make out what it says on the buttons. If anyone has a better image that be great.
I will add to this thread my progress.
Here are some screens:
Parts found so far:
My Key:
(v) = Verified the item which was used in original
(m) = Matches
(a) = Appears to match
(s) = Similar
(c) = Custom made
(?) = unknown
- (a) Antenna -> appears to be a regular 433 Mhz 5db with SMA connector (1pcs 433Mhz Antenna 5dbi With Sma Male Connector for Walkie Talkie Baofeng Interphone-in Antennas for Communications from Cellphones & Telecommunications on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group)
- (s) Red button flip cover -> SCHUTZ 20-26 - Sicherheitsabdeckungen, rt
- (?) Rubber recessed buttons -> Looks like a custom set of rubber buttons. Should be able to get those made if we can get the correct labels and dimensions.
- (s) Display -> LCD appears to be CGI. This RGB LCD would fit: IPS 2.4 inch 262K SPI TFT LCD Screen with Adapter Board ILI9341 Drive IC 8/16Bit Interface 240(RGB)*320-in LCD Modules from Electronic Components & Supplies on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group
- (a) Rotary encoder -> 3 PC Guitar and Bass metal knob volume and tone knob guitar replacement-in Guitar Parts & Accessories from Sports & Entertainment on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group
- (?) Key -> Looks custom or like some sort of military / aviation connector?
- (?) Screws -> appear to be standard M2 or M2.5, may also be rivets but difficult to tell from the screens
I created a parametric model based on the screens I have. You can download it here: MI: Fallout remote trigger prop by sschueller . It is incomplete at this time and most likely not accurate. If you make changes or improvements please let me know.
