Hello, I'm Travis Larson and welcome to an ever evolving space of how-to videos and fun prop builds where I hope you find inspiration and information to help make your dream a reality!
I heard someone mention your basement project on a podcast and searched for your videos to see it for myself. You put amazing details in the construction, and the day/night lighting, music and crowd sounds really put your work on a different level. So cool!
i am goan create new Belle Swedish speaking in diss summer 2024 much more difrent ar personality its begien off Belle its means not fake real person and i gonana change datt 🎊🎉🇸🇪👈 Befordrad 🇺🇲🇨🇵🇸🇪👈 Newst diss summer 2024 Belle
@@Larzland I had written a reply, not sure why it didnt post. Turns out it was just because certain files were so small that Cura decided to blow them up 10,000%. Kind of silly. Anyway, I need some assistance figuring out what versions of different parts I need to print to make the most accurate miniature proton pack, in a resin printer. Can you put together a tutorial of some kind? Or a list of the most preferred parts if going for that? Talking looks-wise. Also, I wanna do parts of acrylic as actual acrylic resin so they are transparent. In the end, I was thinking it would be lit with animated SMD LEDs (the tiniest form of LED I believe).
Hello there, found your video to be very informative. But I wonder if the same can be made out of craft foam, like from Home Depot. I'd like it to be light enough for someone to hang out under it, in case we try to do their talking trashcan version from the parks.
I didn't have a bender that could keep the L shape of the angle so I made a template of the curvature of the vertical face then cut that out of flat aluminum. The top leg of the angle was cut as a strip of aluminum then bent around the first curved piece. The pieces were joined with countersunk screws and a high strength epoxy then routed and painted. I have a welder to weld aluminum now but didn't at the time. The proper bender would hold one end the sort of stretch the aluminum as it bends it.
Saw you on Adam the Woo's channel a while back. The video got recommended again by RU-vid recently. Your work is amazing! Do you do this commercially? There could be a market for people wanting their houses themed like this. And if you're the only one doing it... might be good business potential.
@@Larzland I have a feeling enthusiasts would pay to have a Pirates of the Caribbean or Haunted Mansion theme. A large basement would be out of budget for most but 1 room would be doable. Maybe you can offer a cookie cutter plan, pick from theme A, B, or C, etc and charge for add ons (just brain storming on your behalf, LOL). Do you work in construction? Seems like you know how to build houses.
Out of curiosity how large of a space was the basement to start with? Sq ft wise? And what was about approximate cost. Considering doing a Batu theme in ours.
The basement was 2100 square feet, it was essentially empty, there were only a few framed bearing walls. This was around $5,000 in materials, I had a good amount of scrap that I utilized and materials weren't as expensive as they are now. What size is the space you are working with?
@@Larzland about 1800 Sq ft. We love Disney and go yearly. Our kiddo has CP and will be moving down there so I will be making it wheelchair accessible as well. Her 2 fav rides are Peter Pan and Small World so may have to rethink the design for her.
I told my 3D printer to extrude a length of different colors of filament. I used the .02mm and .01 mm nozzles and as the printer extruded, I let the extrusion drop from the nozzle to the floor where I coiled it up. Each fine filament was measured to ensure that the diameter was to scale (I assumed a certain diameter for each wire in the ribbon cable by extrapolating measurements from photographs of the packs). I then cut lengths of each color and laid them side by side on a piece of glass. They were held down with tape on one end, gently pulled straight, keeping each color parallel and in contact with the next, then taped at the other end. This was then measured overall to verify the correct width. Once that was complete, I carefully applied a thin layer of clear Gallery Glass that Plaid makes. I let that dry then applied second coat (possibly more, I don't remember). Once that assembly was fully dry, carefully lined up a straight edge next to one side of the ribbon cable and trimmed off the excess with an Xacto knife. I repeated the process on the other side of the cable then cut each end square and away from the tape. The cable was then gently peeled off of the glass then a coat of Gallery Glass applied to the underside. After that was dry, I twisted it and fished it through the cable clamp, tightly twisted the end that goes through the hole in the shell, adhered that end then cut the other end to length and adhered it to where it mounts on the cyclotron. I then painted the cable with dull clear coat.
Question... I have an expertise in audio from the Disney Parks - are there any audio tracks you're missing that you'd like to have play there? I might be able to help you out.
