This is a LED driver where individual LEDs can be addrerssed. After researching varius options i opted for a MAX7219 chip. I started by looking into using an Arduino Uno which could then control each of the clusters. I worked out that there are basically eight light clusters. Panel lights are available as a complete kit, but wheres the fun in that. a small amount of wood is fitted in the recess behing the panel to aid strength. The panels are fixed with four black japan screws and the sliders that jutt out are also drilled and screwed to aid strenth and hopefully stop them being knocked off. Each panel is in four sections which are then assembled. I'll admit my panels are slighly shallower than the ones available but still in keeping with the design. The advantage to this ovedr buuing the available panels is that i was able to priont them with the details unique to each panel as opposed to post assembly. ![]() It then dawned on me that if I was spending several hundred pounds on panels, that i'd be better off buying a 3D printer.Īfter much trial and alot of error, i have drawn and printed all of the panels. Once again this proved to be problematic and did not turn out right.Īt this point I was becomming dispondant with the project and started thinking that i'd have to either abandon it or buy the panels. I then tried making a balsa wood version and planned on making a silicone mould. However none of these were right and were too difficult to assemble, especially as i needed 8 copies. I initially started by trying to make them out of Pepakaura from various designs located on. You can buy the panels, if you take out a small mortgage, but that isn't in the spirit of this project. ** Please be aware that as everything I make is made to order each build is added to my queue upon receipt of payment and lead times can vary, If you need a SPECIFIC DATE choose expedited shipping and let me know what your target day is so I can confirm order will be on time.This has been the bane of this project. I have access to copies of the original life cast done of Harrison Ford, this usually takes about a 2 months depending on my lead times. I also make the Entire Han Solo in Carbonite Life-sized to use as a table or hang on the wall. (If requesting a DC connector instead of battery, you will still need to get an adapter cable that is the correct length to your wall outlet as I only include the connector to the wired panel. Fully Finished w/ Sequencer -Assembled, Painted, and Wired w/ changing Sequences and Turn Knobs Fully Finished - Assembled, Painted, and Wired Static Raw Kit Wired - Includes Raw Cast, Loose Insets, Colored Films, and is fully wired Raw Kit & Parts Only - Includes Raw Cast, Lighting Kit, Loose Insets, Colored Films, (not wired) (I recommend these for experienced modelers only.) * I offer Raw Kit options, however please be aware these will need some detail work and to be painted, these kits come from combining two molds and have more cleanup work where the molds join. ![]() To Purchase Add the Raised Panels with Sequencer option and then ALSO the upgrade to Second Hero Panel. ![]() It wires into the Graph Panel as it sits next to it on the box so can only be ordered as an additional feature with the Fettronics Kits. There is an additional Upgrade Option: If you would like the Second Hero Panel Wired, with the 8 yellow lights that flash 4 on back and forth. These come directly from him to me and I simply insert them and include LEDs, 5 volt USB wall adapter (US style plug), an on/off knob, a sequence control knob, two 7-segment display boards, & an Acrylic inset for Graph. *I now offer a lighting version that uses the arduino controller for flashing display sequences instead of static on-off, these can be adjusted to each of the 4 light sequences Carbonite Freeze Scene, Lando Scene, Unfreeze Scene and Custom Sequence designed by Fettronics. Includes LEDs, usb charging connector, push button toggle switch, battery compartment, faux 7 segment inset, & Acrylic inset for Graph (as per film only one panel has lighting.)- I can do custom multiple lit panels if desired, let me know what you are thinking of and I can quote it for you.) These also are available in a flat version good for desk or coffee table designs. (Optional Upgrade to Fettronics Sequencer Now available see below). The set comes with a graph panel with electronics to light up that runs off a 9 volt battery. Each one is 13-7/16" long (at longest) by 5 -1/2" wide (to the nobs) and, 2 -1/4" high. Panels are molded from the original volvo panels to be as screen accurate as possible and protrude outward at an angle. Life-sized Han Solo in Carbonite as shown in the original Star Wars Films.
