Edge lit Star Wars displays
Description
These Are Edge-Lit Displays/Signs Of Darth Vader, Boba Fett, And Jar Jar Binks That I Made As Part Of A [Bigger Electronics Project](Https://Www.Pololu.Com/Blog/746/Modified-Han-Solo-Toy-Blaster-Controls-Led-Displays-Of-Star-Wars-Characters). To Control Color And Brightness Of Those Displays, I Modified A Toy Han Solo Dl-44 Blaster To Emit Ir Tv Remote Codes And Designed These Displays To Respond To The Codes. (To See More About The Design Files For The Display Stand For That Blaster, [Follow This Link](Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:3006122).) As The Blaster Shoots, The [Star Wars Characters React](Https://Www.Youtube.Com/Watch?List=Pl_Avxbnfdukcpnavrrpmthbrt-Lv7Frat&V=Kiyrga7Y3Pq) By Blinking And Playing Audio Recordings. Also, Certain Button Presses From A Non-Blaster Tv Remote [Unlock Bonus Easter Egg Content](Https://Www.Youtube.Com/Watch?V=Hqitv1Lkcuc&Index=8&T=0S&List=Pl_Avxbnfdukcpnavrrpmthbrt-Lv7Frat) From The Displays! The Displays Were Designed To Be Laser-Cut From Plywood And Acrylic. So, The .Step And .Stl Files That I Generated And Included Here Have Not Been Printed And Tested, Though They Should Probably Work Together Okay Since They Were Generated From The Same Solidworks Files That I Used To Make My 2D Files For. Everything Was Held Together With Hot Glue, Except For The Clear Acrylic Pieces, Which, Iirc, Were Fastened With 1/4-20 Screws And Nuts (The Hole Has A Diameter Of 1/4", Which Could Be Okay For 1/4" Screws Since The Laser Kerf Will Make The Cutout Bigger Than That). Before Adding The Acrylic Pieces, I Stained The Wood And Gave It A Couple Coats Of Polyurethane. Here Is A List Of How Many Parts You Will Need To Cut And From What Material <B>*For A Single Display Box*</B>: <Table> <Tr> <Th>Part Name</Th> <Th>Quantity</Th> <Th>Material</Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td>All_3_Star_Wars_Profiles</Td> <Td>1*</Td> <Td>1/4" Clear Acrylic</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td>Led_Array_Holder</Td> <Td>1</Td> <Td>3Mm Or 1/8" Plywood</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td>Ir_Detector_Mount</Td> <Td>1</Td> <Td>3Mm Or 1/8" Plywood</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td>Top</Td> <Td>1</Td> <Td>1/4" Plywood</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td>Side</Td> <Td>2</Td> <Td>1/4" Plywood</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td>Profile_Holder</Td> <Td>2</Td> <Td>1/4" Plywood</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td>Front</Td> <Td>1</Td> <Td>1/4" Plywood</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td>Electronics_Platform</Td> <Td>1</Td> <Td>1/4" Plywood</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td>Bottom</Td> <Td>1</Td> <Td>1/4" Plywood</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td>Back</Td> <Td>1</Td> <Td>1/4" Plywood</Td> </Tr> </Table> *This .Cdr Has Profiles Of Darth Vader, Boba Fett, And Jar Jar Binks In It. Only A Single Profile Is Needed Per Display Box. To Show How The Parts Fit Together, I Have Included A Picture Of A 3D Model Of The Display Box With A Few Components Made Transparent.
