The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

 Post subject: Motion tracker build

Hi all bought a motion tracker kit on etsy. I suspect the kit is too large. Therfore all the 3d printed peices will be to large as well. Im looking for a few real world parts to replace some of the printed parts. Got one of the shutter timers but it seems too small. If someone could give me som measurements of the tracker and the timer that would help a lot
Thanks

It’s shocking how inaccurate and (usually) oversized a lot of 3D printed items are. Hope you can sort this out.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I’m on another episode talking about letting go of most of my collection back in November 2022.

That is a bit large.
The left most vertical row should be absent.
( Guessing that is also why the shutter release looks too small )

Yep.... I did manage to get a kango 426 drill so that should solve my problem! Lol. Bought a shutter release. Went to spats etsy site and bought the pump widget and the jobo light. The kepad i will trim down also. Cant wait for the drill!
