The evolution of the Boba Fett Range Finder prop continues with the introduction of the Mk3 design. Building on the success and feedback from the Mk2, the Mk3 brings a significant change in the accelerometer integration, aiming for a more streamlined and efficient design.

This eliminates the need for soldering two separate circuits together, as was the case with the Mk2. The decision to integrate was driven by both cost and design efficiency. Two years ago, the cost of soldering the accelerometer chip…

In this post, I’ll detail how I use hot glue and make instant setting joints that are stronger than I can break apart by hand. I use hot glue for almost every 3d print that I need to glue. This video is a good watch for background info on glues. In summary, hot glue is fast, easy, and a great gap filler. It will let you down on smooth and cold surfaces. Let’s fix that.

I was working on a custom script to automate knocking parts off the print bed into a tray so I could easier manage remote prints when I stumbled on the musical features of g-code. Here are my references: Teach your 3D Printer to Sing and Dance Online MIDI Editor .midi file to G-code Converter See it in Action! Here is my g-code.

The Boba Fett Range Finder prop with lights comes in two varieties. Switched on by a microswitch in the helmet stalk, or a tilt sensor in the range finder. Sales: https://www.etsy.com/shop/WestabyElectronics My initial design used the latter. For shipping reasons, depending on your country, a ball or mercury tilt sensor was included with the Mk1 Range Finder. However, I do not like either of these options. The ball can get stuck, and mercury has shipping restrictions.
