Thanks, taking stuff apart is always a bit scary at first - especially because you don’t know if it will go back together again!
Amazing work on that. Looking forward to seeing the video of the experience as well

"Beautiful. You're hired." (to work on mine) haha Jokes aside, I've been wanting to do something similar to my Spirit trap and this has definitely given me some inspiration. Fantastic work on the mods as well as the channel. Been enjoying everything since I subscribed. Keep up the good work!

So this was fun! How did I do? Have you ever tried to mod a toy before?
Excellent job on the prop creation. When are they going to make you head of the art department for the next film? 🙂

Awesome job! Can you share a link to that red led hat light that you installed over the existing one on the spirit trap? I'd like to add that mod to a few and its easier than opening them all up to replace the whole thing.

Yes very happy to: amzn.to/3SV2EaT you need to pry the read lamp cover off the lamp. I did it by putting the white part in a vice and gently prying the metal collar evenly all the way round so as not to damage it.

@@ExperienceExplorersYeah but there is always some tweaks when you are creative.. Also like the paint with the pen, a few touches and it looked like worn-out metal.. How long have you been building stuff yourself??
@ExperienceExplorers

Yeah the pen thing is a bit of a shortcut - but when you are in a hurry sharpies can really help if you add and smudge before it’s dry. I’ve been building for a long time - but only really started thinking about sharing my builds in the last few years - always been in to creating experiences so excited by the idea of sharing them here! 😊

Too good! I’m going to have a crack at this, please could you share the dimensions of the piece of wood that holds the servo, did you glue it in place? Thanks.

Thanks so much! I'll have to go back to my cad files - I'll try and get these measurements back here in chat tomorrow!
Awesome build. How did you end up controlling the servo board remotely?
@ExperienceExplorers
2 ай бұрын
Thanks - it was a simple power on - sever shut the door - power off - springs pulled the door open. So I ended up using a simple switch in the end (having preset the servo position when it came on)

Okay thank you. Going to try to do this myself
Where did you get the servo?
Would you be interested in modding mine???
could've saved a ton of time by getting the Wal-Mart version of the trap that already has the servo/remote door opening set up. from there you just have to replace/extend the wiring.

Yeah - looked for these - but they were not available or selling on eBay for 150-200! - I also heard that the motorized doors were not very 'robust' so wasn't willing to pay that. Was also just fun to give myself the challenge :)

There's very few of those around, the Afterlife production team cleared out most of the stock, that's why they're so expensive 😅

I would 100% of the time just break it so it'd turn into a static prop :(

Did you delete my lengthy (but legitimately trying to be helpful and in no way negative) comment or was it just killed by the KZread algorithm? I spent a good 10 minutes writing that up and it's vanished 😅
