DIY Secret Sci-Fi Tech

[@Plastic_Spaceman]

I'm a simple man. I see Smuggler's Room, I click. Great video as always!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

You rock, thank you very much!

[@grantschrader81]

I second this. Another awesome video

[@vinmanr2d2]

These are some AWSOME videos a55l !

[@dfcprops3849]

Awesome teleportation device! I love how you blended a vintage item with sci-fi items. You definitely inspire me to make my own! :) Great video as always and nice work with the special effects!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Prop Rocks thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed it. Can’t wait to see yours!!!!

[@scratch3406]

I like how it’s missing one of the fuses. That could explain the random jumps during the intro. Could make a neat story kind of like Sliders.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Pinball Pals great idea! Yeah I broke one early on, but thought “what the heck, it adds to it” 🤣🤣🤣

[@TX_Bluesman001]

Imagination and Genious, so great!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you!

[@Plastic_Spaceman]

BTW those are definitely heatsinks. Those particular LEDs are very bright and get extremely hot. I imagine they failed because the heatsinks appear to be aluminum instead of copper.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Ah! Thanks for that. I figured they were, but I had not seen heatsyncs with LEDs before, so I wasn't 100% sure. Thanks again!

[@idiotluggage]

Another great build. I liked the LEDs shining on the fuses.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you! Yeah that was an afterthought and I almost didn't add that, but it seemed like a good idea. Thanks for watching!

[@knightzcross419]

Disney should have hired you to build Galaxy's edge! Awesome work

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

LOL! Thanks for that!

[@Iskelderon]

Next time you want to do light pipes like that, use hot glue sticks as diffusor rods to get a more even effect. You can also cut/slice them to make them fit inside or melt them into molds to make custom shapes. Additionally, the clear and black ones aren't the only ones. If you look closer, you'll find tons of colored translucent kinds out there and ones with glitter in them to make it even more extreme! As usual, keep in mind that there can be some yellowing over time, so choose your LED colors accordingly to account for that.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

WOW, I never ever thought about using glue sticks. That is a GREAT idea. Thank you so much for sharing that. I just saw a website that has a TON of colors! Great Stuff Lennier1, thanks again!

[@Iskelderon]

@@TheSmugglersRoom You're welcome! As always, I'm looking forward to your future projects.

[@sithlordst32]

The heat syncs are replacement blades for the Rancor electric shaver from Jabba's palace ;)

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

🤣🤣🤣 outstanding

[@kaction]

Love this. I may need to make something like this. This is something I think i could actually pull off!

[@durandanne-john6621]

It's the most foolish, amazing, astonishing stuff that I never see !!! Love that so much ! I have a little steel case in my attic and I want try to do something like that to recycle it ! Thanks you for this idea ! Take care of you and your family and stay healthy !

[@djsloanau]

Love your videos, I look forward to them every week. Great job.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

David Sloan thank you very much, so glad to hear that!

[@cocayoo]

Love the build! You truly are the master. I cant wait for the next Monday!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thanks so much, I am humbled.

Awesome, love it. Looks cool. Thank you.

Thanks so much!

[@purrosleukos253]

Another home run awesome!!!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Much appreciated

[@Jestunes]

Wow. Super cool Sci Fi thingamajig. I love it. Just came back from a thrift store in my area and bought a glass booth partition sort of a half of a dome 3 feet wide and 6 feet high. My son said it would make a great audio booth, but I'm thinking intergalactic transporter tube. Really neat. Wish you could see it. You would flip... haha

[@YS-by7wy]

So awesome!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you! Cheers!

What I wouldn't give to rummage through your greeblie stash! Great work as always.

[@velwheel3135]

I am searching your site for back programs. Do not seem to be getting notification of new shows. But I have to say, you have the best theme music.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you! Do you have the bell notifications turned on within KZbin? Sometimes I know it causes problems.

[@velwheel3135]

Yes, thank you. I think it may be working better now.

[@BrucesWorldofStuff]

I build model cars and trucks and I use the same stuff when there is something I don't want to pain that color but can not tape it off. Like you said it works great! I like the aging trick that is neat... The Led heat sinks look cool as power sources too! Great Video! LLAP

[@adrianfirewalker4183]

Love this thing!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you!!!

[@ducomaritiem7160]

Thats really nice man!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thanks

[@swarfsbackshop.3388]

The heat sink is off a "bay light" style 100w LED down lamp. The particular make and model is unknown but searching for either "round led heat sink" or "bay light LED" will get you somewhere in the right ball park. Alternatively try searching for "extruded aluminium radiator rod" and you can buy meters of the stuff and cut it to the desired length. Hope this helped. Keep up the awesome work.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you! This is great information and I really appreciate it! this makes total sense now, looking at it.

[@swarfsbackshop.3388]

Your welcome bro.

[@ivangonzales5667]

[@danthiessen7437]

Brian, your videos are always amazing! I can't even imagine how many people you've inspired to make projects of their own, and that list definitely includes me!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Wow! Thank you so much Dan, that means the world to myself and my wife, that is the sole purpose for us doing this. We really appreciate the comment!

[@beardedgremlin8117]

Another great video, I’m running out of ways to say how awesome your projects are.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you very much for saying so, we are thrilled you are still watching!

[@beardedgremlin8117]

I’ve been here since the beginning I ain’t going anywhere. I’m slowly getting closer to my channel coming to life.

[@mikehardy7060]

helpful suggestion, for illuminated hoses, checkout ebay for illuminated dog collars. they have led at one end shining a;png plastic strip which give even light along it's length and they can be cut to any length you need, very cheap too

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

That is a great idea! Thank you Mike!

[@agent_exodus]

Too cool. Love it👍

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you very much!!!

[@Weirdflex_Fett]

Nice boba fett painting technique for the panels lol

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

HA! Right?? I learned that over at The Dented Helmet years ago. Still one of my favorite techniques.

[@zoksss5323]

Really great build, but why are you using Arduino Mega for few led lights?

[@poly_hexamethyl]

5:23 Holy cow! I still have one of those old camera flashes. Every so often I drag it out and the remains of my last box of flashbulbs and take a shot or two with my dad's old bellows film camera. I was a little sad to see you butcher it like that, but I guess time goes on.... At least you made something creative out of it!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Yeah, i know for collectors when a piece is altered or "butchered" it can be seen as destruction. For me I have always loved that something like that might be repurposed vs thrown away. Just me though, I like to give old things like this a new life.

[@TimRoseOfficial]

Congrats on starting your channel! Great video and a BIG LIKE from me! Blessings to you! :)

CAN YOU SUGGEST A SITE OR TWO THAT DEALS WITH CREATING ORIGINAL SPACE SUITS? Among things I have to create is a space suit. Looking for ideas for sources, or maybe even someone I could hire/trade with etc to help speed up the process since there are too many things to make for just one person (me) to make. THANKS.

Hey man have you ever thought about getting into 3d printing? It’s super fun and you can make just about anything and you can still use your greebles on your props.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Hi Brandon, I absolutely have. As a matter of fact I have a CR10S and a PRUSA I3 MK3S. I actually have three very cool projects on the workbench that I have been working on in the background. I will push to get at least one of those done earlier rather than later for you. Thanks for giving me a nudge on this and of course for watching, it means a lot to us!
