Posted: Fri Aug 14, 2015 1:54 pm Post subject: Blaster LED's Help |
|
|
Hi, I am creating a Deckard Blaster and wallet display sort of thing as a gift for a Blade Runner mad friend using my 3D printer.
I have the skills to finish, paint and make it look nice but other than a little bit of soldering, I have never built anything electronic!
Please can someone who has made a blaster or has bought a kit please help me with what I have to buy e.g. LED size/ voltage, capacitor size and the battery size or any other info that can help.
Can someone point me in the right direction of a reputable seller that sells the id and key cards that go into the wallet, I am in the UK if that helps.
Many Thanks |

Can't help you with the electronics - but if you go over to Ebay and do a search for Blade Runner prop - you'll find the keycards. |

Thanks, I have had a look on ebay and have ordered the cards
Rich, you are the best and I hate to do it but can I bother you for some more information. It doesn't look like there are any resistors at all in the build, am I right? Can you tell me the voltage of the LED's and can you tell me the battery size as that size looks perfect.
Thanks again. |

I use a low light output LEDs to match the look of 1982, none the less they are normal 3 volt LEDs and I use a 3.6 volt battery so there is no need for resisters.
Battery is a LS-14250 type.
