R5-D4's Bad Motivator system 2021 - Part 1.3

June 2021
Decided (last month May) that I was going to be the start of getting R5's
'Bad Motivator'
…….back installed again.

It all started waaaaay back in 2019 (part 1.0)........


....the door actuator needed replacing...... again!

The following past Blog links:
The design's were all from my early days of 3D designing components, so they needed some slight modifications and alterations for printing on my Tevo printer.

This new idea is to combine all the components onto the one assembly bracket, which is secured to the inside of the dome.

The solenoid holder needed a few changes, but the knowledge I have gained meant that the design itself was sound.

The bracket which supports the motivator and rail, had a notch in it from an earlier design. This I could use as a location point for the solenoid support bracket.

One thing I did have to change was the pivot position on the bracket arm. The solenoid activates in the pull position when powered on.
*****************************

The electricals needed re-doing as I will also be replacing the original 4 channel remote control with a two channel one.
This will operate the original Bad Motivator pop actuation, smoke/vape system....... and new for 2021.... (if all goes well)..... an amplifier/speaker/sound card to play the sound effects!

…..March 2022, thought I had posted this up last year 😂
