Hi there,
I was asked by a good customer of mine if I could fabricate him the SFX box/stand for the Jedi training remote that was visible at the Where Science Meets Imagination exhibition.
I have worked out a 3D model from the best refs I could find of it and have worked out a price. However, I'm opening a quick interest thread to see if I can get at least 5 customers on board to make it happen at this price. It would be too expensive under that number.
(First run: Price for the base/box would be 305€)
Due to the fact that this project was a direct prod without prototype and I went completely overboard on time budget during production,
Second run price would be 350€
The motor and plug are not included.
This is a final photo from the first run, very happy with the result
all studio photos of the final prop are visible here:

couple 3D match refs. That is not a 30 images Barbican project level 3D match work here, amount of refs is limited and I needed to get a clear idea of size and proportions, not figure out every tiny details as in the Barbican saber. So, although some stuff may not be perfectly aligned on all photos (especially considering the prop is behind a glass), this already gives perfect infos for the sizes of everything and how they go together, which is what we need here
Parts will come pre-assembled, box on one side, separated plate to attach with 2 screws for ease of shipping.
they will be available on my website as always:

thank you all!
for those that know me, you know how this all works now, if you don't know me, you can find all details in the spoiler tag bellow to keep this thread clean

Limited Run - Star Wars - Jedi training remote SFX aluminium box base - interest for a second run?
I’ll be using his kit with my eethan box setup. Is the rod going to be steel? If so, I just realized, since the balls used with my kit are magnetic you could just "stick" it onto the rod and it'll hold. Then if you wanted to levitate it, just move it to the floating base.

How/Where to buy when ready:
As usual, everything I sell can only be purchased on my website, supergreenprops.com:
Supergreen props - Handcrafted collectibles
I am obligated by the French law to edit an invoice for any money that goes into my bank account and the invoices have to be sequenced. The only way for me to handle that is through my website. It is easy for you, the website is fun and bilingual, it is perfectly secured and the payments completely handled by Paypal. You just need to register, enter your shipping address and the shipping costs will be calculated automatically. Make sure to enter your address as soon as you create your account as shipping costs are shown for France by default.
I know that some people might feel uncomfortable with a website, but please understand that I have no choice and that, even though there is a website, it’s still me, eethan/Matthieu, behind everything and you can reach out anytime for any question here or by mail contact@supergreenprops.com
I’ll always be happy to help or have a chat; really, you know I’m a friendly and talkative guy and love to talk about cool props, so, don’t hesitate!
Payment:
As explained above, I am obligated by the law to edit a sequenced invoice with all my sales, this goes exclusively through my website. The payments are completely handled by Paypal checkout, with buyer protection, and you can choose to pay directly with paypal, credit cards through Paypal (even if you don’t have a Paypal account), or even local payment options like iDeal, Sofort, Bancontact, Giropay, MyBank, P24, EPS... At no time will I have access to your payment information or bank details, never. When the order is paid, you’ll receive confirmations by mail for every step of the order and an invoice.
Shipping:
When you are logged in and have created an address, shipping costs are automatically calculated in your cart. There are two options, less than 3cm in thickness or more than 3cm. I encourage you to take the less than 3cm option when available as it is much cheaper and still tracked
All shipments are shipped with the French post service and tracked; you’ll receive the tracking number by mail when the package ships. It can be tracked directly on your local post website, usps, royal mail and so on. No need to use the French post website link included in the shipping notice mail if you are not in France. If you didn’t receive a tracking number, please check in your spam folder or don’t hesitate to contact me, it’s important to get it
Shipping time varies greatly and we all know it has been pretty unreliable lately, however, to give you an idea, it should usually take between 5 to 12 working days to get from France to the US, there can be some rare wild exceptions that I sadly can’t foresee, however, so far, I have never had a lost package, so fingers crossed, it continues that way!
Customs taxes:
All orders are shipped from France. If you are outside Europe, it is possible that your country collects customs taxes or fees, I can only let you know that this is a possibility and encourage you to know how your country deals with international packages and know if you have to pay taxes and how much they are. Please understand that this is out of my control.
Always eco-friendly whenever possible:
As I explain on my website, I try to be as eco-friendly as possible. I live and work in a farm in the south of France, I have all kind of animals around me and we try to respect nature as much as possible. We have a hedgehog in the garden and a lot of bees coming back lately, so hopefully things are taking a better turn!
This kind of work, let's be honest is not by definition eco-friendly since it's purely for our enjoyment and not something we all need to survive (or do we?). That being said, I do my best to always use recycled and recyclable shipping materials or even clean re-used materials sometimes. I also try to do as much as I can for the projects themselves.
By the way, the French post service that I’m using is 100% carbon neutral since 2012 that is only for France obviously, but that’s already something I guess
