Flux Capacitor With Adjustable Fluxing Control

I wanted a Flux Capacitor that could replicate the time traveling effects from Back to Future. It features adjustable fluxing speed including lighting fully into time travel mode. I combined my 3D modeling with electronic skills to bring this to life.

Filament Colors: Grey, Black, Red, Yellow, Red, and Gold (not silk, try to match brass)

Flux Lights and Relay Tubes: Transparent PETG or Resin Print

6"x8" Acrylic sheet for the front glass

Micro USB Power

Optional:

Embossing label maker with red labels

Laser cut flux lights, need 9mm acrylic and access to a CO2 Laser cutter.

Yellow Ethernet wire.

#18 5/8" Wire Nails

This guide tailored to creating or buying a specific custom PCB, but you can probably use any of the multitude of flux capacitor lighting plans available online. Use throughholelight.stl if you need use through hole LEDs in the flux lights.

1. Download 3D files
2. Print Box and box top in grey
3. Print PCB holder in black
4. Also print box top seal, and 3 light shells in black
5. Print Relays in gold, change the color to black for the terminal post part of the relay
6. Print 3 relay tubes in transparent PETG or in resin
7. Print 3 tube supports and 3 relay supports in gold, set layer height to fine for small parts
8. Print or laser cut 3 light crystals
9. Print 3 caps in red, use finest slicer settings
10. Print 3 wires in yellow or don't print if using Ethernet cable

1. Pushed assembled PCB lights up into PCB holder and run micro USB power through square box opening into PCB
2. Fit and glue 3 Relays on onto the top plate considering the orientation of the terminal post.
3. Push relay tubes into relays
4. Put tube supports under tubes and secure with glue
5. Glue the relay supports next to the relays
6. Optional push 6x #18 5/8" Wire Nails into the relay terminals, make sure they are uniform height
7. Glue lights into light shells, be careful not to use too much glue.
8. After allowing to dry, glue combined lights into plate
9. Glue caps on top of flux tubes
10. Use printed wires or use yellow Ethernet cable. Cut Ethernet wire to be flush with the plate
11. Use glue to secure wires if needed
12. Install the finished plate into the top layer of the box.
13. Glue seal into box top
14. Glue acrylic sheet to the inside of box top
15. Assemble box top to box
