Does your printer driver have an option for printing on "thick" paper? Most laser printers I've met has that option, and it slows down the fusing process and raises the heat a little to make sure the paper and toner is adequately heated.

Use your hot air gun to fully set partially set laser toner. Also an improvement would be to print the EMP and red strips on clear in reverse and apply to the inside of the clear dome. That way the toner won't move around and the stickers won't come lose from handling. I would also use a red LED to light the switch so you don't get the yellow center halo on video. BTW, burnt-sienna or sienna in an acrylic glaze makes a great aging/weathering effect that has a more organic look to it.

Awesome build. I remember visiting the movie museum at WB years ago shortly following the release of The Dark Knight Rises. All the Batman props were there and I was stunned at how shotty they looked in person (Joker’s suit was the exception, the tiny little squares within each of the hexagonal tesselations were individually stitched, when Joker said “this suit wasn’t cheap”, he wasn’t joking. That was fine European fabrication), the Harry Potter props were just okay but the Matrix props and the Watchmen movie props were insane. Particularly the Matrix. The level of detail was extraordinary. They looked genuinely futuristic and naturally worn. Super intricate with tiny facets a camera with a telephoto lens wouldn’t even appreciate. It was exceptionally crafted, and how fitting; for a film that was so transformative to the industry, to VFX, to sci fi genre, fight choreography, culture and more. Excellent work, Adam

If I'm not mistaking, due to some of the effects used in it, it was a movie shot in a higher resolution than previously was common, which does not allow for fixing things with light and the simple fact the camera or the displaying device can't make out more detail anyway. It's surprising how much light, camera angles and distances away from props can do to their realism.

The fluted knob you made looks a lot like a gas appliance pilot/on/off knob. Like from a water heater or furnace.

I was just watching the Matrix: Reloaded, and noticed the EMP button featured on the operator's chair of the Nebuchadnezzar at 1:22:25. The knob/button on the front left hand corner of the box appears to be more like a full on handle that you could grab on to and turn. The prop could've totally been built different for each movie and each ship even. That's just something I noticed about this particular EMP button in Reloaded.

Hi Adam, printer technician here (for a number of brands). Outright heat isn't the primary culprit here - time in the heat is. Changing the paper type settings has more of an effect than people think. Thick 2 / Glossy not only adjusts the heat, it also slows the paper feed speed down. This means that there is more time for the sheet you're printing on (and thus the toner) to come up to fusing temp. Flash-fusing can be useful, but relying on that is not ideal (think low-n-slow vs searing). For the best results, you'd be best to look at a printer that has better paper type options. Brother often has good options for this, as do Ricoh/Lanier/Gestetner. Oki aren't bad, but sometimes their colour matching isn't the best. If you're just after a printer, I'd suggest something like a Ricoh SPC352 or a P C600. Both support up to 220gsm stock, have decent warm up times, and print at 1200x1200 dpi (so nice and crisp images). For Brother, I'd go with something like the HL-L3210CW. I don't get many of the HL series machines back in for repairs - we sell them, then often don't see them for ages. They're bloody reliable.

I actually like the "rub off" issue with the stickers, for this reason: You can print them, cut them, put them on, then rub them a bit to add "weathering," then seal it with a clear-coat to lock it in.

Really wish Adam would do a multi-month build of the self destruct station from the Nostromo. Yes, I'm aware it's an amalgamation of separate props pieced together on screen through the magic of editing, but the idea of making a representation of it as a singlular object would be so epic. And the fact that it could be made as an object that lives in a container/box seems to speak to one of Adam's favorite concepts. And the opportunities for incorporating sound, lighting, animated parts and ridiculous deep diving on the graphics would make it a master-class level build.

I worked for a major printing and packaging company for 16 years, and now I run my own small printing company. I used and maintained 3 different 11x17 color laser printers. Xerox, Ricoh, and HP. The Ricoh was my favorite for cost and production printing a standard paper stock. The Xerox did well but it would cost over $25000 in toner a year. Now understand we would do about 190,000++ pages in a year. These machines are beasts though, they have a large footprint and usually way over 150lbs, however this can replace your current laser printer so it will not just be specialized to large prints. The Ricoh had the highest resolution a few years ago. Compare these Ricoh SP C840DN, HP CP5225n, and Xerox VersaLink C8000. There is also another option which may interest you. There are few (Xerox makes one) color lasers that also include white toner. These are primarily for used in transfer prints for clothes. This could be a good asset to give extra dimension to what you want to create especially on clear transfer or colored media. The Xerox C8000W has this option, however it almost doubles the cost.

after working in manufacturing for a while now my first thought is to always take a look and figure out how it was manufactured lol, you get an eye for clever manufacturing hacks after a while.

A quick fix we found for ensuring the setting of toner for clear prints and transfer prints is to run the sheet through a laminator after printing; we just run the sheet through the laminator, set at 10 mil, with a sheet of paper covering it, and haven’t had any issues with label/transfer prints degrading. A lot of printers can be tweaked regarding setting temp and duration; we’ve had good luck with HP MFCs but still get some piece of mind with the laminator.

During the drilling you see Adam check the size of the hole which is printed on the inside of bit. It's impossible to see the step size while drilling and you DON'T want to drill one step too big. So I use a black marker to mark the outside of the particular step I want. Voila, now it's very easy to see. My $0.02.

1/8“, 3/8“ are supposed to be whole numbers? 😂 The metric system (SI) does not have to mess with that.

They are not whole numbers. And the 1/2" circle template he used to make a 1/2" radius actually gave him a 1/4" radius.

@@agentspooky77 Yes :) that's what I said: at 12:19 Adam is saying "...everything was in whole numbers. Half inch, 5/8s." That are fractions, not whole numbers. For me who grew up with the metric system, I can never get my head around the imperial system. Nevertheless, I just love Adam's builds and his enthusiasm - they inspire me to try my own teeny, feeble builds!

Adam, Man! You Nailed Those Sentinels with the one! Knocked out of the Ballpark!! Amazing!

awesome bud you nail this out of the ballpark Adam

i dont think the dials are 100% perfect because the markings in the picture dont reach across the full radius; maybe the manufacture changed the markings? its close and im super surprised you found some that are near identical, keep up the good work!

I love the Matrix, the new one is great too. I don't understand the hate towards it, it's similar to the first where it's more about the story rather than the special effects.

I agree. It wasn't perfect, but it was still a decent sequel. I enjoyed it and my first viewing was a lot of fun. The main thing that annoys me is the lack of Morpheus (I know he canonically died but hey so did Neo and Trinity).

I like that you use mechanical measures and manual measures. You amaze me that you can eyeball, very accurately, and I have to check sometimes on a steel ruler for things like 4 inches (a hand), 9 inches (thumb to mid finger stretched out), 18 inches (a cubit, elbow to finger tip). I'd never get a tattoo like you but it's probably accurate enough for wood work. Thanks for sharing these vids, it keeps me inspired to keep crafting.

Omg I'm a big fan of replica launch switch systems. Great idea on the emp box.

It's really amazing that Adam thinks the fractions 1/2", 1/4", 1/8" are "whole numbers." They aren't! They're fractions and it's a giant reason that using Imperial measurements are DUMB. Convert to metric people! Then he really would be talking in whole numbers. 12mm, 6mm, 3mm. Or the even more even and round numbers of 10mm, 5mm, and 2.5 mm because counting in tens is the natural way for humans to count.

Americans using Imperial is just stubbornness at this point. If the Nebuchadnezzar was built in Imperial the machines deserve to win.

We use the metric system pretty much exclusively at my job but then you get this one random tool or part that ONLY comes measured in inches. Throws you off bad!

I think a large percentage of Americans would be happy to change over, but the entire country is based on imperial units. Tools and materials are far, far more readily available in imperial units than metric. It's super easy to find a 1/4 inch thick piece of steel. It's not nearly as easy to find a 6mm piece. Until the supply chain commits to the change, consumers don't have a chance. In reality if you're any kind of decent maker, it doesn't matter if you're using imperial or metric. Just convert as needed. It's basic math.
