How about a Data Storage Unit from the force awakens.

If I could find one that actually held data - does anyone make a USB version?

I made a model for 3D printing the data storage unit but unless I got my measurements wrong, it wasn’t big enough to fit a USB inside. I remember someone making a version with an RFID transmitter inside so that when you held it close to a device (smartphone, etc.) it could load up a series of images from the storage unit.

I’ve been following this build since the beginning, BTW - I really love what you’ve done with the box. It looks like it came right out of the Star Wars universe (I find that Star Wars props - particularly the set dressings - have a very distinctive style that you managed to capture perfectly here).

Oh thanks, Dr! I tried my hardest and continue to do so. I really appreciate the affirmation.

As for the RFID transmitter, that sounds AWESOME. I’ll look into that!

Thanks,

What a cool project. It looks great!

I've been wanting to try making shipping labels like I saw Adam Savage make on Tested for his Blade Runner case, but I've never had a project to try them on. I could make a few and send them to you if you like. Here's a couple of ideas I just did up in Photoshop.

DUUUUUUUDE! Are you kidding me? Those are beautiful!

I was inspired to make this box by Adam’s Blade Runner fun case build - I’ve watched it like twenty times.

I would be honoured to have those on what I’ve made.

Could you PM me?

Thanks,

N.

You should have a copy of the Kuat Systems Engineering Firespray-31-class (Slave 1) service manual in that chest.

I drew this up last night and made it this morning. I used an old copy of Analog for the donor book.

Haha woah, that’s awesome!! Now, I’m expecting to open that and find an entire, complete manual for that specific ship - anything less isn’t good enough man!

Kidding! I bloody love that - awesome work dude!

Haha, I was thinking that as I was making it, but that would be quite a task. I have "The Bounty Hunter Code" book. Maybe as a dust jacket to cover that. As if Boba Fett was hiding it by using the cover from the Slave 1 service manual.
