Here are picts showing the calculator width difference.

SL-85:


SL-80:


I recommend getting the sl-80 as a stand-in, there hasn't been an sl-85 on ebay in awhile.


Want to see some new motion tracker discoveries?

I would!!!!

Why do I have a sinking feeling like something I just used last week making mine has been discovered as totally wrong?!...
(besides the stuff I knew was wrong )

Hit us with some fresh truth!

Okay. I made some discoveries last year while collecting all the real parts after finding a trashed sl-85 to start things off.

You can thank the DS helmet thread for it.





Plastruct mercury vapor lamps connected via shiny vinyl/pvc cable.



I can provide a part number to some shiny tubing from McMaster later today.


This lamp (and the smaller version) are on several parts in the Aliens universe.

The small version is on the front of the hand welder.

I new saw that on the welder. Thanks!
Would be great to have a few of these knobs.

ugh, get out of town. I am pretty sure I had an extra cast of one of those things included in my drop helmet greeblie kit from Stephen, and I am also pretty sure they sat in a box for a year before I threw the extra bits away! Gah!

Never throw anything away!! I still have mine, but is this a part we could get "for real" instead of a cast?

Thanks for the heads up Noble. Great spot on the tracker.

You can order them direct from Plastruct:

http://plastruct.com/shop/detail-and-ar ... 36-lf-316/


There is a minimum $20 order, but there are so many things you can order

for future builds.

I would get both sizes.

Mini Crane from Hadley's Hope:

Ohhhh Thank you!

I ordered like 10 of those little buggers by accident thinking I ordered 2 for my smartgun headset! Turns out it was 2 bags of 5 haha!

Glad I can actually use more!

I'd also like two of these if possible please

On to widget discovery.

This is back to late 2014, I started buying low cost sphygmomanometers on ebay.

My first one was from Accucare.


this is what is inside:

so here is what you get:


Since the nipple is not correct, I bought some portable sphygmomanometers to harvest the nipple.
Like this:

You get this part:

The top needs to have some holes filled/modified, I used a metal filler
All previous MT builds had widgets on a very thick bracket, which was not like the originals.
Here is my 3d bracket solution that has curvature of kango body:

And only the right arm left to hold the rifle; better not!

Serious note:
Thanks for the pictures of potential pump widget sources.
Once day we will be lucky without losing an arm.

I've made some recent improvements to the bracket.

Mainly location of Hama jack, and cable hole tolerance.

Since I am updating my personal bracket, I'll be doing a small one time run in the px soon.

For anyone looking, I snagged a Medline sphygmomanometer off eBay for $20 and the piece inside is identical to the much pricier AcuCare one. It still needs the nipple replaced, but so did the one Noble bought.
