luke314pi Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Hey guys, here is a project I have been working on for over a year - hologram-style displays! The displays have different images on each side and look great during the day or night. Each display is hand made, and is composed of an ultra bright LED, a button-controlled base, a 3D printed inner base, parts from a hardware store, and a laminate display with high resolution graphics designed by yours truly. This first release includes two different displays. The Green Laboratory Light-Up Display shows schematics and 3D armor views. The Red Targeting Light-Up Display features an aerial view of a generic city on one side, and Manhattan on the other side, both with ominous targets preparing for an attack. These displays are available individually, or as a two pack at a discount. They are available to order here: http://lukestoystore.com/3d-printed-accessories/?sort=newest Quote
MiniFiend UK Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 the bad guy red one looks epic. it really pops Quote
hellpop Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Jeez, those are cool. Any chance you might make a Green Lantern-themed one next? Quote
luke314pi Posted March 28, 2014 Author Posted March 28, 2014 Jeez, those are cool. Any chance you might make a Green Lantern-themed one next? Good idea! What kind of design would you like to see? Can I vote for a blue-lit Iron Man one? The manufacturer makes the control units in red, green, blue, and white. Unfortunately the blue is not very bright at all compared to the others. I don't think I will be able to use it. That is why I made this one green. Quote

Maybe something like the Invisible Woman force shield base? EDIT: Hail Ivan! Edited March 28, 2014 by hellpop Quote
Shogi Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I wouldn't mind seeing some medical type graphics as well. Maybe even Minimates shaped X-Rays? Quote
Shanester Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I think the display should show the Multiverse! These are very cool Luke. You keep coming up with nice stuff. Quote

Maybe white, and we could paint translucent blue ourselves? Quote
Nessex Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I wouldn't mind seeing some medical type graphics as well. Maybe even Minimates shaped X-Rays? agreed - an x-ray or an enlarged dna strand or something similar would look awesome for the doctor/biologist type characters. I needs one for my Hank McCoy figure. The manufacturer makes the control units in red, green, blue, and white. Unfortunately the blue is not very bright at all compared to the others. I don't think I will be able to use it. That is why I made this one green.Drat. Maybe white, and we could paint translucent blue ourselves? not a bad idea. Also - the the plastic that the image is printed on coloured? or is it white and the colour comes from the LED? Perhaps a blue (or purple, or yellow, etc...) plastic display with a white bulb? Regardless, I will be wanting both of these! Quote
bzorio Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Great displays, Luke! You can use Wolverine's skeleton for the x-ray display. Another example: a wanted file. You can put a hero on one side and a villain on the other. Quote
pappymojo Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Maybe one for a space ship control room Guardians of the Galaxy / Star Trek style. Quote
luke314pi Posted March 29, 2014 Author Posted March 29, 2014 The blue translucent laminate material I have doesn't work very well with printed graphics. It has fibers running through it that obscures things. I will keep looking for other options, but blue might be off the table. I will experiment with blue printed graphics in clear laminate with a white LED. The blue printed graphics might be enough in that case. Quote
ElGallo21 Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Maybe one for a space ship control room Guardians of the Galaxy / Star Trek style. I was thinking that display would be great for my Nova Corps Quote
bilbofett Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I second the villain wanted display idea. Luke is it possible to somehow leaving the display area open on the side to slide different graphics in and out? Quote
