Limited Run Giant Glowy Display stands for HiCs, costumed mannequins, Astromechs, etc

Great to hear. I'll get started when I get back from bay area Maker Faire next week

okay, this is moving forward!

Here's some concept sketches of the newest revision, which is the carbonite chamber design. i'll tweak it still, just showing you what i'm thinking and accepting feedback.

I'm targeting a 40" diameter front circle with a rectangle behind it, where han can bold down. This stand measures 40"x40" as drawn. I'll CBNC route it from 1/2 or 3/4" wood. the panels around the sides will be thin, and can be curved and bent into place.

40" is too big.

I'm doing 36" diameter circle now:

Very nice!

Why not copy the pattern from the movie in post #14! You’re almost there already!

Keep going!

Sizing and scaling and spacing all come in to play when shrinking down small. I can't get the gaps too close together, or too small that it'd take days to machine each one.

Okay. I've figured out my pricing and would love to get started producing these, as long as we get enough orders together.

It'll be an easy-to-assemble kit containing:

two CNC cut 1/2" thick mdf top panels cut with chamber floor pattern
two CNC cut 1/2" thick mdf blank bottom panels
internal wooden structural supports
four laser cut 1/8" thick hardboard panels cut with stair step pattern
a generous 30 foot length of remote controllable color changing led strip tape
ac adapter for leds
white opaque light diffuser film to back openings
The top panels will have pre-drilled holes on theback rectangular section that line up with spots on the bottom of the HiC to allow for easy mounting. Using these mounting holes, it'll be able to support a free-standing HiC if you plan on bringing it to a convention.


USA shipping from baltimore in a 48"x24"x4" box.

The US price is $265 including shipping.

For orders outside of the country, I'll have to figure out the shipping, but just like the HiC box kits, I can have these made in the EU, Canada, and Australia so it might not end up being that bad. likely we'll make the CNC parts near you, and then ship the other parts from Baltimore.

I'm opening this up to a batch of ten orders, and if this half-fills we'll start production on that batch, and start a new one if needed. I'd like to get started producing, but will be away for three weeks, Aug 25-Sept 16ish. I don't think I'll be able to get these shipped before then, so we're looking at a late September delivery.

Please comment on this thread so I can reserve you a spot. You can place your pre-order here
I'll update the first post in this thread shortly, with this information, a pre-order list of those who comment, and updated pictures of the new design. I'll try to squeeze three rings of ovals in like post 14.
 
Look at that!

I can't wait to get it painted and lit up!
