After a few messages, I double checked my screwdriver and it was reversible. Just a little stuck initially. Either way, I love the size of it. About the same as the one that came with the stand.

[@sammytimgaming2947]

Wow, I love the pip boy series, I love when you could make things real. More real than being a plastic paperweight.

[@YourGeekFix]

Me too.

[@S.I.S.Martin]

This is the video I didn't even know I was waiting for, I bloody love this channel! I unfortunately missed out on the Enclave variant of the Pip-boy, but I have the kit version which I plan to paint, build and mod, as well as most of the parts to do it, so I'll look forward to the next video in this series.

[@YourGeekFix]

Awesome!

[@YourGeekFix]

Because You Asked for It! Hope to see you at the premier!

[@MassiveDMG]

I missed the premiere, but it's a really cool episode! Love the addition of background music!

[@YourGeekFix]

Thanks man!

[@bongocat401]

If you want to do an in game accurate look for the nuka cola scheme a Pip-Boy skin was just released in game in fallout 76 on the new scoreboard that goes on that specific Pip-Boy so you won’t have to try and use a different models scheme to match onto the one you are creating hope this helps👍

[@YourGeekFix]

I'd like to see it

[@orellinvvardengra6775]

My buddy just gifted me this game a couple days ago and while I was to late for the nuka cola skin I scooped up the red rocket theme immediately. I friggin love that damn game. Glad I didn’t play on release otherwise I would have had a different opinion. Anyways the game is crack and it’s lovely.

[@YourGeekFix]

@@orellinvvardengra6775 Awesome!

[@HifNoeneun]

This deserves more likes

[@YourGeekFix]

Thanks!

[@essobregor9775]

Looking forward to seeing the process you choose this time around. I'm sure it will be something special.

[@YourGeekFix]

It is in flux right now. But first 3 phases are the same.

[@monsterdream14]

The « trapdoor » for the Holotape broke in my pip boy, because the mechanism is entirely made of plastic.

[@YourGeekFix]

Sorry to hear that. Easy fix.

[@SKitty1732]

I have a Sugar Bombs Pipboy myself and Can confirm. the Serial is in fact different

[@YourGeekFix]

Thanks for verifying

[@bucketttz]

omg they actually did what i was hoping for

[@YourGeekFix]

Cool

[@Brickblock200]

I've wanted a blimp boy for a bit

[@YourGeekFix]

Cool!

[@killercloud345]

Honestly love how youre handling this one. Especially given the prebought speaker is a no-go and unavailable to us without a buttload of desposable income. Would love it if we could make the knob actually flip through sound files. Either stored on the main pc/phone or perhaps a cleaver wiring solution using a micro-sd card? (Maybe a raspberry pi or ardueno could help, im unexperienced with those but hell ive seen magic happen). Im waiting on assembling mine (hell i got it when THE ORIGINAL came out in 76s debut) cause ive been busy. But recently i have some freetime and disposable income. So id love to walk along once i see how you do it! Thanks for making this all clear and avaliable. It helps people like me learn and achieve the ability to make cool stuff! >:D

[@YourGeekFix]

Cool. New video for step 2 this week.

[@itsflashmf9632]

fallouts going to saturate all the cons this year from all the "how to make a pip-boy" videos.

[@YourGeekFix]

True

[@frogboi7]

I’m hoping to replicate what I see here, I came into possession of a Pip-boy over the summer and it’d be so cool to get it working

[@YourGeekFix]

Cool!

[@BakersfieldParanormalServices]

me and one of my sons are huge into the fallout universe and games he bought me the exact same pip boy that you have for Father's day I'm looking to do what you're doing to it but on the screwdriver mine has both screwdriver bits that switch around like they are supposed to....

[@YourGeekFix]

Oh, well that is interesting!

[@YourGeekFix]

Check out a more in depth video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKCmhoBonLt_b80si=PsNJWyb_nsUqq-3q

[@BakersfieldParanormalServices]

@@YourGeekFix I've already watched that video all the way through when I first found your channel but I'm more interested to see how you do with the exact Pip-Boy that I have because it most likely going to be different to make it a working pip boy cuz the one you did in that video is a different model

[@YourGeekFix]

@@BakersfieldParanormalServices It's really the same. The hardest thing is sacrificing the screen module. The casing is the same. Although, the battery area in the top could make some things easier.

[@Masterofthememes]

This is amazing! I bought the vault-tec and sugar bombs ones! I even ordered the enclave one but my order got messed up sadly.

[@YourGeekFix]

From Bethesda?

How to Make a Real Working Pip-boy: Buy it

[@YourGeekFix]

True

[@CGRREDACTED]

Great video as usual good luck this one's a little different and then the kit although it's made from the same pieces the electronics are different you may have to do some desoldering they really do it the right way without having dangling electronics or cut away plastic like I'm going to do a show it's easier to work with without the process of desoldering you don't see what I mean when you get to the inside guts with the electronics it's all together and it's not easily removed

[@YourGeekFix]

Thanks

[@VT-49]

will it be like the other pipboy you did aka touching the screen for navigation or will it use the dials to navigate?

[@YourGeekFix]

I have a way to use the dials to navigate.

[@z-zkillswitchz-z7014]

How much would it be to buy one if these fully functional pip boys?

[@YourGeekFix]

More than making it yourself

[@gabes9624]

its cool but i wanted to see if it can go to the other modes with the buttons

[@YourGeekFix]

@@gabes9624 we made that. The new app works with the ext e real switches and buttons l.

[@ViktorPripyat]

Gonna make one using the guts of a crappy knockoff walkman for holotape and radio, get a real geiger counter, and make the primary display into essentially a PDA. I mean, what are quests if not tasks and chores?

[@YourGeekFix]

@@ViktorPripyat if you saw the original pipboy series I did, you saw the commodore vic 20 tape data reader. Try that.

[@ViktorPripyat]

@@YourGeekFix Ooh, thanks!

[@hastemanmcgee930]

Hold up you only have like 20k subs? Ive been one for a bit now and i never noticed haha

[@YourGeekFix]

They are quality people like yourself, over quantity.

[@S.I.S.Martin]

When can we expect the next video in this series? Impatient minds want to know!

[@YourGeekFix]

I was going to try this week. I have been sick and busy at work. But should be soon.

[@bongocat401]

I still feel iffy about destroying a limited edition if it was a normal one that’s okay but a limited edition one is crazy 🤯

[@YourGeekFix]

I understand. Makes the others more limited.

[@Indykathoris]

@@YourGeekFix , Is it not possible to instead make 3d prints of each part of the shell to rather than paint over the limited edition shell? if possible, it might run easer to switch the shells back and forth without much problems(thus having both working and limited factors in mind).

[@YourGeekFix]

You could, just not what I am planning on.@@Indykathoris

[@Indykathoris]

@@YourGeekFix, I think of it as a "Plan B" Never know what risk you can take.

[@YourGeekFix]

@@Indykathoris True

[@BeanBandit0]

I’m gonna try my hardest to make this and the Ncr ranger helmet, I can do it! 😤😅

[@YourGeekFix]

I agree!

[@cerealthe72nd]

do you think this would work with the pip-boy kit? these ones are offsale now and pretty pricey secondhand so

[@YourGeekFix]

Here's your answer kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKCmhoBonLt_b80si=Qu4VxcQytUXyHf0k

[@cerealthe72nd]

@@YourGeekFix ah ok, thanks!

[@YourGeekFix]

@@cerealthe72nd yup

If you want to have a picture of the nuka cola skin on the Pip-Boy look up new scoreboard fallout 76 go to new seasons scroll down to rewards put in rank 51-60 and it’s rank 52 hope this helps with the project 👍

[@YourGeekFix]

Thanks

[@bongocat401]

@@YourGeekFix all good only really did it cause I wanted to help and it would bug the hell out of me if it was done incorrectly 🤣👍

[@YourGeekFix]

@@bongocat401 lol

[@bongocat401]

The screw driver can be changed and I wasn’t happy it was a sticker especially since mine came with a giant crease cause it was put on wrong 👎

[@YourGeekFix]

Understood. My screwdriver was stuck. I used pliers and now I can use it.

[@VT-49]

do you think the next part will be done before halloween?

[@YourGeekFix]

I'm filming 3 parts this weekend.

[@sleepydudespillow]

What fallout game is your favourite?

[@YourGeekFix]

I liked 4 for the building I did in it. But 3 and new vegas were also favd.

[@cakegod2853]

The battery look like micro fusion cells not fusion cores lol

[@YourGeekFix]

True

[@seelenschlucht]

It's a cool toy. But i'm going to print one when i have my 3d printer back together. It's not about the money. It's this curse that i have. I need to design everything in cad and then build it myself.

[@YourGeekFix]

That's cool. I have a 3d file for the mini if you are interested.

[@seelenschlucht]

Is KZbin supressing my mails again? Could you send my the files? It makes it a lot easier to get the proportions right.

[@YourGeekFix]

@@seelenschlucht The mini is a different layout. I will be modeling a special layout for the backplate to fit the screen.

[@YourGeekFix]

Just checked and did not see your email. I'll send it to you.

[@S.I.S.Martin]

@@YourGeekFix You're designing a 3D-printable back plate so you don't have to modify the original? Is that what's holding up part 4?

[@dannydaft22]

Modify that one too

[@YourGeekFix]

I am

[@robotradarhasacat]

Idk about anyone else but I can not find one single pip boy byo kit

There are several on eBay at reasonable prices now.
