After multiple videos of people constructing, designing, and 3D printing their own PIP-Boy 3000s, you'd think Bethesda would just take the hint and manufacture and distribute actual ones. As long as it'd be available to the normal market and not be a thousand bucks, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
essegeo I know, that's why I commented it. Bethesda needs to just manufacture and distribute the real thing instead of plastic phone-cases. Imagine a real-life PIP Boy that you could buy in a store.
This is seriously an awesome project you got going on. I am definitely a fan of the screen. Clever workaround. I think I am going to do something similar on my build. Can't wait to see the finished version.
honestly really cool to see something like this, and the glass bubble screen is fantastic! you sir are admirable, that's one heck of a gift, im glad to see something like this made for reasons other then for just a cos-play prop. your work is astounding please post Finnish product or more updates. oh and if not too embarrassing record your friends reaction to receiving it would probably be priceless
You should make an update vid to see some more progress. (Also, on the business side of things, this could legit be a thing. If you figure out a way to iron out all the kinks you could make more and sell em. And yeah, I know that you can buy a "Pip Boy" but the ones for sale are normally cheap and I guess the word I'm looking for is unsatisfying, meanwhile, yours actually looks pretty genuine. Trust me, Fallout fans would go crazy for this. Heck, I'd buy one myself. The only issue I think some people would have is the wires and that pack thing. Basically: The closer it is to an ACTUAL Pip Boy? The better). But nice work on this thing in general! I would never be able to do this stuff, so keep it up!
and question to any one else who can answer. was that program running a pip boy green and black over played google maps? cause i just thought that seemed insanely cool. lol be cool if further designs to that pipboy software, took on ability to store owner made and named location markers on top of the google maps. so one could make there own pipboy map of there home town locations XD
Hi, how did you achived that curvy lens for the screen? looks similar to the old televisions from the 80 and the arcade machines. Is that some sort of lens or something you put ontop of the led screen?
Who are the four idgits who down voted this? Dude put some serious time and effort into making something amazing, something functional and well-crafted. Ergh. Well done, sir.
Alright, so is anyone else doing this? Because i want to modify his file to be able to use the radio screen to actually select music, but i dont know much about python. Any help? I got the software to run and just need to hack it up to work. Music is already downloaded and i just need icons on the screen to click.
I had a question about the software you are using. Does it work once the installation is finished, or do i have to use a work around system for activation?
Omg, totally sick dude. I want. Like, seriously, the map had me damn near piss myself because it seemed unreal but yet it was XD seems too good to be true.
That is so cool. So I am interested in building one, but I don't feel like doing too much programming. Did you download software and graphics? How did you do the software stuff for the most part?
teenagedgaming He said in a reddit post that the cast was around $150 and he expects it to costs ~$400 when it's finished Edit: Here it is www.shapeways.com/product/LYHLHJLGZ/pipboy-3000?optionId=43811568
Well, the overall cost of the unit is less than the Bethesda one. The smartphone that's used in the Bethesda one costs a couple hundred dollars in itself
Goddy like Oh gosh, so did I. The sound is wired into my brain that when I hear it randomly during videos I feel like I'm going insane, because I check my Facebook and there's there. Then when I check to see if it's just the video, I almost flinch when I hear the sound lol.
I'm using the same code, but I can't get the World Map icons to populate. I sent a note to Neil on bitbucket, but haven't heard back yet. I've spent half a day staring at the code, but I'm coming up with nothing. Did you alter the World Map code in anyway to get the icons to populate? Anyways - great build! I just got all the FO3 music with Three Dog's commentary running on start up - now if I could only get the rest of the pages populated with more gameplay images :)
Dude your project is the best one I've seen so far and it's been 5 years now, you got talent in making robco techs :) we're doing a live action rpg set in the fallout universe and the plan is to make cost effective but working pip boy for multiple people, therefore adding interactive menus such as exp counter, inventories, uploadable quests and a proper map, and yours is just amazing! I was looking to know more about this model, did you update it? Do you think my suggestions are plausible to input in your program? Did you manage to add butttons? And most importantly, where did you get that stupid beautiful magniying glass?!?
Do you realize how much money you could make if you found someone to partner with to manufacture this for all the diehard Fallout Fan-boys! You would need to get a license from the game maker of course but still, you have the design all figured out.
For someone who can do something like this, I feel like you shouldn't have a Beats sticker on your laptop. Otherwise, interesting work, though I wish that damned Pi wouldn't be so big.
This is insane, so much better then an iwatch
+Pookie But is it better than Apple Watch?
I am kidding, don't hate, ofcourse it is!

malcolmmorin Ahahaha, what a story mark
Cattasaurus It deserves to be a tale, Johnny.
malcolmmorin They are releasing a pipboy as a limited edition fallout 4.

essegeo I know, that's why I commented it.

malcolmmorin Honestly I would love an arm-mounted smart-device rather than a handheld phone.
The best working Pip-Boy 3000 I've ever seen
This is awesome!
connorm1558 Thanks a bunch! :)

Mass production. Now.
+Umur YILDIZ he can't, bethesda would sue him (or take most of the profit if he decided to cooperate with them)
honestly really cool to see something like this, and the glass bubble screen is fantastic!

This would probably run a lot smoother on the Raspberry Pi Model 2 due to the quad core processor. I may have to try it out!
Seriously the most amazing thing I've ever seen
you sir are awesome, and hey if you ever happen to make more of these id buy it :)
hey! excellent build man! where did you get that domed lens for the screen ? I can't find the right size anywhere!
Guys.....? I think we've found a legend..
I love it when fans just beat the real thing.
This is pretty awesome
Amazing! Please give us a tutorial when you have completed it.
dude are you going to make more videos for this??

is there a way where i can just make it all compact? like i dont have to have the wires everywhere? and how can i download the script?
kickstarter fundraiser NOW!
and question to any one else who can answer. was that program running a pip boy green and black over played google maps? cause i just thought that seemed insanely cool. lol be cool if further designs to that pipboy software, took on ability to store owner made and named location markers on top of the google maps. so one could make there own pipboy map of there home town locations XD
You are a damned good friend.
Hi, how did you achived that curvy lens for the screen? looks similar to the old televisions from the 80 and the arcade machines. Is that some sort of lens or something you put ontop of the led screen?
Красавчик,нет слов.Так держать:)
Do you still have the STL files? Looks like the shapeways cast is no longer available.
So I am absolutely clueless as how to get this to start up. Would you mind telling me? (I got a Raspberry pi and all that stuff)
Try adapting a radio nob for navigation on the interface
How did you make the old curvey screen effect?
Who are the four idgits who down voted this? Dude put some serious time and effort into making something amazing, something functional and well-crafted. Ergh. Well done, sir.
dose the radio work on your pipboy
Any chance in upgrading your raspberry pi to the new edison chips from Intel?
Ok, you're a genius.
This is dope.. Nice job
This is amazing!
Can i fast travel with this?
Alright, so is anyone else doing this? Because i want to modify his file to be able to use the radio screen to actually select music, but i dont know much about python. Any help?

Can you make more or you making it for cosplay ? If you making for sale then how much ???
That's looking great :D
Neal D Corbett Thanks so much!
A gdzie do tego pancerz wspomagany?:P
How did you do this?
I had a question about the software you are using. Does it work once the installation is finished, or do i have to use a work around system for activation?
I wonder if the raspberry pi could be slimmed down enough to fit inside the pip boy
gavin harison Unfortunately I don't think so. There's just enough room for an arm.
is there a way to get this working with Fallout New Vegas?
great man! I would totally buy this :)
Radical!
-K0Ff3 - Thanks! :)
Where did you get that thick piece of glass?
Dart Striker It's from a slide viewer for pictures!
Omg, totally sick dude. I want. Like, seriously, the map had me damn near piss myself because it seemed unreal but yet it was XD seems too good to be true.
That is so cool. So I am interested in building one, but I don't feel like doing too much programming. Did you download software and graphics? How did you do the software stuff for the most part?
did it cost more or less than $60
teenagedgaming He said in a reddit post that the cast was around $150 and he expects it to costs ~$400 when it's finished

Haha, that's a fair point.
I checked my FB at 3:35 :D
Goddy like Oh gosh, so did I. The sound is wired into my brain that when I hear it randomly during videos I feel like I'm going insane, because I check my Facebook and there's there. Then when I check to see if it's just the video, I almost flinch when I hear the sound lol.
You can make a Pip Boy but you couldn't work out how to adjust the audio so it's a bit louder? ;)
xTJBaldyx Well the audio just didn't record at all :p
I'm using the same code, but I can't get the World Map icons to populate. I sent a note to Neil on bitbucket, but haven't heard back yet. I've spent half a day staring at the code, but I'm coming up with nothing. Did you alter the World Map code in anyway to get the icons to populate?

the magnifying glass is a lense from a Photax Solar 3 Slide Viewer
Your intelligence skill is around 7-8 right?
you using the app from a phone? That is what it looks like.
Where to buy this lens?
Landgraf132 Check out eBay for slide viewers for pictures
Your cast link is broken
Wow this is amazing :D
Make a kickstart project, i'm sure that a lot of people would help you
damn awesome
we want a tutorial!
Nice ^^
Please do a tutorial
man its awesome :)
+Jan Navrátil (XPHonza) Yes! A tutorial would be awesome!
Nice :)
this is so fucking rad
If you were selling this i would so buy it a lot cooler than that phone sleeve lol
Do you realize how much money you could make if you found someone to partner with to manufacture this for all the diehard Fallout Fan-boys! You would need to get a license from the game maker of course but still, you have the design all figured out.

Otherwise, interesting work, though I wish that damned Pi wouldn't be so big.
I want you as my friend , really

Ну и где запуск F3 или F:NV? Или этот очередная демонстрация очередной самопальной хероты аля стилистика Pipboy.
Where did you get the magnifying glass?
