Thank you for helping me out with this video, sir. The fact you took your time explaining all the steps to be done and finising the tutorial sharing th specs is much appreciated.

[@darrenkuhlmann4525]

Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate your work. Very helpful 👍

Thanks for sharing, that's really cool no more batteries 👍

Thank you and sorry for the late answer

[@renegomez8752]

Great video. English is very good. Wish I knew multiple languages.

[@j.s.collection]

Thank you Rene

[@sizonsdesigns]

Excellent video!! Thank you for the info. Just a quick question, what is the name of the red and black wires?

[@j.s.collection]

Thank you, the name is in German "Decoderlitze (decoder wire). Often used on model railways. You can find it on Ebay for example.

Very very cool! Where did you buy the individual Iron Man acrylic display signs that light up? At the 22:38 time mark.

[@j.s.collection]

Thank you, the acrylic cases from Bumblebee, Hulkbuster and the 8 die cast Iron Man are from a German company: www.sora.de

[@MrWecantstophere]

Danke schoen aber ich meine nicht die boxen . Ich meine diese kleine Anzeigekarten(???) mit licht. Tut mir leid mein deutsch ist nicht so gut. Ich habe keine deutsch gesprochen seit neun jahren oder mehr :-)@@j.s.collection

[@j.s.collection]

MrWecantstophere, the name plates are from www.accessoires-figurines.com/ , but without stand and lighting. The stands are 3D prints and the lighting is selfmade (only an LED stripe, same as in the cabinets).

[@MrWecantstophere]

Awesome thanks:-) @@j.s.collection

Just a question, the same connections that you used in the JST plugs for the battery box work for the AC power supply plug? (min 20:36) or is a different type of connection (sorry I never tried anything like this but I really want to give it a try). I'm guessing that for the hulk buster infinity war the process is similar but with a thicker and larger plastic rods and the total of 3 v can be used too instead of 4.5 v (1 battery AA = 1.5 v)

[@j.s.collection]

I only use the jst plugs directly at the figures. From the shelfs I use thicker cable (bell wire for higher power requirement) because I summeries all jst plugs on one shelf and this one cable pair goes to the ground of the cabinet. Under the cabinet I summaries all cable pairs from each shelf to one cable pair. And this cable pair will be connected to the power supply. For these reasons, I use an adapter with luster terminals that is supplied with many Amazon power adapters and is also available individually. In my opinion, the small jst plugs are not suitable because of the higher power consumption off the summaries cable pairs. Larger jst plugs with thicker contacts and cables would of course work. And yes, the solution should work for the Hulkbuster Infinity War (with thicker and longer plastic rods).

[@RMAILLER]

@@j.s.collection Thanks for your answer, I only need to power up the figures and be able to turning them up with a AC connector, my cabinets already have leds installed and I'll light them up independently, so I only need to know if the same process you did with the jst plugs in the battery box has to be done as well in the AC power supply plug?, If not how do I connect the cables coming from the figure in the plug that will be connected in AC power supply. Thanks in advance

[@j.s.collection]

@@RMAILLER , at the DC Output of the AC power plug you must connect the "+" pole with the red cable and the "-" with the white cable (if you use the same color bell wire as in my video). You cannot use a power plug with a AC Output, the LEDs in the figures needs DC. I hope this helps.

[@RMAILLER]

@@j.s.collection Thanks

[@Anarcroth]

Thanks

[@ForeversEdgeUS]

My question is. Do you add up the batteries. So 5 compartments at 1VDC is 5VDC? Are you adding up all the battery voltages together to get your total DC Voltage on the Supply?

[@j.s.collection]

If the batteries are connected in series, which is almost always the case with Hot Toys figures, then you have to do so for one compartment (add the Voltage of all batteries of one compartment). But if you have 5 compartments in one figure you will connect this compartments in parallel and the Voltage is not the summary of the 5 compartments, it is only the voltage from one compartment.

Love collections can you do another video of your collection

[@j.s.collection]

I will try it end of January.

Where can I buy the items needed to do This ?

[@j.s.collection]

You can find the items at Ebay and Amazon.

Hi Cooles Video und die Lösung um die LEDs der Figuren doch zu nutzen. Hab mich schon länger gefragt was ich bezüglich der Leds machen werde wenn mein Sammlungsraum fertig ist und ich endlich alle meine Figuren aufstellen kann.Jede einzelne einzuschalten wäre da keine Option und ich hätte die Beleuchtung wohl einfach nicht genutzt... Aber dank deines Videos werde ich meine Figuren modifizieren. Kannst du mir bitte sagen wo man den Adapter bekommt um die Drähte anzuklemmen? Ich bekomme demnächst auch den Threea Bumblebee halt den neuen aber leider nicht exclusive... Trotzdem wird er glaube ich super aussehen. Viele Grüße aus Österreich

[@j.s.collection]

Danke, ich habe unterschiedliche Steckernetzteile (von 1000 - 2200 mA) verwendet, je nach Anzahl der beleuchteten Figuren. Um den ungefähr benötigten Strombedarf zu ermitteln habe ich am Anfang bei jeder umgebauten Figur den Strom gemessen und später dann geschätzt (bei Figuren die ähnlich aufgebaut sind). Der Strombedarf einer Figur lag bei 1-4 Batteriefächern zwischen 50 und 130 mA.

[@badtupe2866]

A ok Kann man das auch ausrechnen an hand der Stückzahl der Batterien? Du verwendest aber nur ein Netzteil für alle Figuren oder? Wenn ja wie viel hast du zurzeit drauf hängen? Grüße

[@badtupe2866]

Hab meinen ersten Text nochmal geändert falls du das nicht gesehen hast ich wollte dich auch noch fragen wo man den Adapter der das Netzteil und die Drähte verbindet bekommt...

[@j.s.collection]

Bad Tupe, anhand der Anzahl der Batterien kann man dies nicht ausrechnen. Für die Wand, die als Titelbild für das Video zu sehen ist, benutze ich 2 Netzteile, weil ein 2200 mA nicht ausreichend war. Die Adapter von Klinke auf Lüsterklemmen findet man, wie die Steckernetzteile bei Amazon. Insgesamt habe ich 5 Netzteile im Einsatz, weil die Vitrinen auch zu weit voneinander entfernt sind.

[@badtupe2866]

A ok verstehe. Hab die Sachen schon bestellt:) Bezüglich dem Netzteil wollte ich dich noch fragen wenn ich gleich eines mit 2200mA verwende und sagen wir mal nur eine Figur dran hänge kann da was kaputt werden?Oder geht es da nur darum das es wenn man zu viele Figuren dran hängt nicht mehr funktioniert mit den 2200mA... Danke für deine Hilfe Grüße

[@kbillotta]

In 18:47 you weld the cables or just mended the cables?

[@j.s.collection]

There I only show the connection between the cables and the jst connector, this is soldered.

[@kbillotta]

If I use a usb connector for each figure and connect all of them to a usb hub powered with 3v, do you think it will work to?

[@j.s.collection]

USB has 5V operating voltage, that is too high for the LED's. I don't think that a USB hub works with 3 V. So, I think ist is not possible.

[@kbillotta]

@@j.s.collection Even if i use a 3V power source like yours to power up the hub?

[@j.s.collection]

@@kbillotta , I assume that a USB hub always contains electronics that are operated at 5 V. I don't know of a USB hub that can be operated with 3 V.

[@orlydg]

No need for a resistor if 3v out power supply will use? Tnx

[@kbillotta]

What is the conector that you use to make the connection between the cables and the power suply ? You show it 20:31

[@kbillotta]

Did you use the jst connector in this case or did you connect the cables directly to p4 adaptor?

[@j.s.collection]

This adapter is supplied with various plug power supplies and is also sold separately at Amazon in Germany

[@j.s.collection]

I only use the jst connectors directly behind the figures, under the showcases the cables are connected directly to the adapter.

[@kbillotta]

@@j.s.collection So, in the final connector with red and white wires, you connected the wires of the jst connectors right? not the 0,04mm² ones.

Hi Erstmal super Arbeit von dir, Hättest du auch eine Anleitung auf Deutsch für die Leute die leider wenig englisch verstehen :D

[@j.s.collection]

Danke, leider gibt es keine deutsche Version der Anleitung.
