(Whatever-Bashed) Infinity White Wizard Gaia Memory

Also another long long overdue project... And shockingly realized all my pictures taken during the earlier work-in-progress are gone... wait.. did I take pictures then?! hmmm... really cannot remember...


Anyway, it is done, this is the memory side of this power-up "adapter(??!!)" thing... hahaha... Sticker is also bashed from images from the internet... I don't have a white/transparent DX gaia memory so have to make do with this blue colour one...


I simply stuff everything (the circuit of the DX Axcalibur actually) inside a plastic card holder and pasted translucent plastic pieces (that was previously a notebook cover) onto it using double-sided tape, knowing that spray paint will probably not adhere to the surface well... The white wizard magic pattern is "borrowed" from the internet search, and the "thumb" and "hand" are made from ABS sheet and then painted with a paint pen, hence the shoddy worksmanship (not to mention I was also watching my favourite variety show then as well, hahahaha...) ...


As I am using the battery compartment of the gaia memory, I have to think of a way to let the cover be accessible... In the end, use a hinge to allow the gaia memory to swing out to access the battery cover, and 2 magnets to hold them in place... But this actually leads to the sensing function of the circuit to be hay-wired, as the "turn-on!" feature will occasionally be activated by itself... hahahaha...



Slotting into the Hamel Cane!!!! It may look like it is so easy for me to do all these.. but in reality, I had to ideate, try, and fail, umpteen times before something workable appears, and often more, failures that are not documented... But without these experiences, good or fail, I am almost certainly unable to do anything at all... So I always believe that one should just go ahead and try out any bashing, customizing, etc etc, instead of asking for the most detail of the details, so much so that if one just go ahead and try it out, he/she will know the answer him/herself... And to me, that is also one of the fun factor in restoring, modding, bashing, or customizing... Just go and try!!!! And have fun at the same time!!!!




Normal attack without "turn on!" will only light up the red LED...


... and it really looks much better in "person" than in picture for the 4 glowing colour lights diffusing out through the translucent plastic and double-sided tape...


Now my Hamel Cane can take on the Axcalibur !!!!



A short demonstration clip...
