Officially licensed Mk. 50 arc reactor

I feel like when they show it removed from the stand they should show it having a strap so you could wear it yourself (No idea if such a feature exists or if there's spots to mount a strap). Still, if nothing else it provides some fantastic reference pictures.
 
Actually, I think that's an excellent price considering the quality of the piece. You could 3d print it, but it would cost as much, require a lot of labor to get smooth, and wouldn't be real metal. What I'm saying is that I think that price is very competitive to making your own.
 
The cattoys version uses magnets on the back to attach, though it does look a bit too toyish. I'll probably be picking one of these up.

Didn't know Cat Toys had one. I just looked it up. If I had seen theirs before today I would have bought it immediately, but this new one looks far better
 
price is about $30-40 lower, still a nice one especially to wear, but for strict display, that one is far nicer
 
These just shipped today from that retailer.
They just posted an actual image of it.

KGHobby uploaded this one. Looks like the power button is on the top and there is a magnetic backplate to make it wearable.

I just got mine, arrived a day early. So, the negatives are that it is entirely plastic. Nothing on the reactor or the base is diecast metal. The other thing is it doesn't come with batteries and it requires three watch batteries. So I haven't gotten to power it on yet. The power button is actually a capacitive touch button, which is neat. Apparently it has two modes: a solid light and pulsating light.

The level of detail far exceeds that of either the Cattoys or SalesOne versions. It does look really nice despite not being metal. The display stand requires a little bit of screw assembly. The magnets are pretty strong, so it'll stay in place. It comes with a necklace chain for optional added security.

Can you please tell me the part number of the batteries required?
 
CR032

Very neat little prop btw. Would have been better in metal but the paint apps are very convincing, the stand is pretty cool and the light up function is impressively accurate. For under $100 shipped it’s a no brainer.
 
I should add I had an issue initially where it wouldn't power on. If anyone else has a problem with theirs, it could be one of two things.

1. The batteries might not be making contact. So pull/bend up the metal tabs that the batteries touch. They might come recessed too deep. TnS told me to do that and it still didn't work.

2. The actual touch sensor might be loose or out of place. Take apart the reactor (3 screws on back), then adjust the white cable and stick the sensor in the right spot. This worked.
 
So this thing is devouring batteries. I hadn't turned used it in a couple of weeks. It's been on for no more than 15 minutes tops. All 3 new batteries were dead. So I got 3 new, albeit cheaper, batteries. One is dead after a week.
 
Well CR2032 (coin) cells dont have a lot of current.. so its no surprise if they die quickly.

How many LEDS are in there? anyone got any pics of the internals at all perhaps?
 
Wow... thats a lot of leds to be running off coin cell batteries! :)

Wonder if there are resistors to limit the current to something small?

Do you have a multi-meter?

Are the batteries in series? or parallel? (3v or 9v?) to the leds?
