Balancing / floating tutorial in case any of you are still struggling. It takes practice. Be patient with yourself!

Ah I posted a question about that literally on your other thread, would the magnet lift from an inverted bottle cap etc?
no.
the base needs to set itself before adding the remote (like a scale needs to tare before adding weight) so putting it there, hoping it's the absolute perfect x,y,z position and then just plugging it in would surely be a disaster.

I may start offering base customizations as part of the process for an additional charge. I have some really cool ideas for adding paneling and greeblies to the base and some other members have come to me with some other really cool ideas. I'll let them post the final results when they're done, if they want.
Another cool option for that square base would be to cover the top in gold vinyl in the shape of a holocron so that the blue light shines through.
Trent you got that down to a science now!
The ice cream cone shaped with the force is a perfect description of it!
U can really feel the funnel shape going down to the base
These are phenomenal! It’s like a freak’n mirror imagine of the real deal. The base has such a Jedi temple feel to it, looks like it belongs in one of the halls of the temple!!
Keep up the great work man, these are legendary!

Sorry, forgot to add that video! Hope it worked!

That's so weird that you say that. Another square base I worked on spun counterclockwise for days and would only spin clockwise for about half an hour. I wonder if it has anything to do with the switch under the base that seems to control the base lights.... interesting.

I'd do amazon. I got mine originally from best buy, years ago, it's an APC brand, but it depends on your budget. I used to use mine with computers, as it was a real PITA to be working and have the power go out and lose everything. But as the power supply on my mac tower was so hefty the one couldn't cope so I stopped using it. Now they just need new batteries.
they range in price based on what you need it to do: https://www.amazon.com/s?url=search...refix=app+battery+,aps,236&crid=3DNELIDSLB24N

We are now in the double digits LOL. Thanks for all the support, guys. This is a lot of fun to make these for you guys. I really enjoy getting to spend time with each of you, talking through the various steps, learning more about the prop, "seeing" your digital faces light up when I post progress pics. It's just as fun for me to share these with you as it is for you to get them I guarantee it.
Best,
Trent
