OmniWrench Prop Build WIP Thread - Ratchet and Clank

[Studio 49]

I redesigned the parts for the blue led windows on the side of the jaws today. They now allow for the 10mm blue led to be friction fit into the back hole/opening of the bezel.
The entire sub assembly can then be inserted into the side of the jaw with yet another friction fit.

I forgot to mention that the blue lens seen inside the bezel is from some cheap Arcade style buttons that I purchased and gutted to get the lens and diffuser as it was the first diameter for the prop.

















I also needed to install the EL Tape in the top window that sits between the two jaws.
The central junction piece on the prop has a lip that I designed in, so I have essentially designed another little 3D printed mounting plate that friction fits into that opening and that lip stops it from going too far.









Again I used Tesa tape to mount the EL tape.










Once the 3D print plate and EL tape were in place I was able to insert the blue diffuser.












And then the final part I needed were the fake bolt/rivet heads that are seen on the prop in the game.
I designed these so that I could fit them after the fact to help make the sanding and painting process easier.
