Gucabe Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Hey guys I just wanted to show my take on the TK comlink. I had previously made a one piece design and now made it a 3 piece version. This new version is threaded so its very ease to take appart too. ------------ here is a video showing how easy it is to assemble and dissasemble youtube_share;pID4Pa8GYwI] Now my goal is to make it functional, I had a bluetooth headset that I rarely use with my phone, so I opened it and removed the earpiece and replaced it with the smallest speaker i had... and it works.... http://skullgarrison.com/gus/tk/btcommlink0001.jpg http://skullgarrison.com/gus/tk/btcommlink0002.jpg http://skullgarrison.com/gus/tk/btcommlink0003.jpg I will post a video soon but you get the idea, you make a call using your phone and talk and listen through the Commlink. So you can talke to anyone that has a phone... There are things that need to be improved. 1. Volume of the speaker is not great you have to be very close to the device because it does not have enough power. I have ordered more speakers of higher impedance to see if it improves. And also I have redesigned the Hovi mic tip to funnel the sound like a horn. http://skullgarrison.com/gus/designs/tkcom05.jpg 2. I need to place a push button for turning on and answering calls directly from the Commlink. This should be easy. 3 need to make a hole on the bottom for the mic to listen better. 4. To recharge the device i will probably just unscrew the bottom cap retrieve the BT device and once charged put it back together... so I dont make any more modifications to the Commlink. So what are your thoughts? I think I'm going to have so much fun answering calls while trooping XD thanks.

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) very cool! can I ask that you give some credit with me for supplying you with the proper reference material and dimension help in refining the TIE pilot parts! photos and discussions with dan laws and myself being credited with assistance the comlink would sell like hotcakes if you made them functional out of the box! also would be cool to have a screen over the top.

jannick Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 My phone doesn't have bluetooth... Would it be possible to fit a tiny walkie-talkie inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I will... Credit goes to you on them and thank you two so much for pointing them out. The snaps and the pill box are updated and more accurate thanks to you and Dan. Check the description on the video now I would never claim full design on my self at all... Like Carl Sagan once said, " if you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe" @Jannick the problem is finding such tinny walkie talkie... I have looked everywhere but have had no luck... that was my first choice... Edited December 2, 2014 by Gucabe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VGTrooper[TK] Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Sell this as a kit or already-built item, and I'm onboard to buy one! Super awesome idea that fits our outfits, and functional! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnorris15 Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Wow this is great and I agree that this needs to be a kit of some sort and may I have the link to the model with the funneled interior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
