Inspiration and Design
The inspiration behind this media centre and server rack system comes from the iconic control consoles seen throughout the Star Wars franchise. Bob Clagett and Brian from The Smuggler’s Room meticulously designed the project to capture the essence of the Star Wars aesthetic. The design incorporates various elements such as illuminated buttons, switches, and panels that mimic the look and feel of the control consoles seen in the movies. This attention to detail ensures that the final product is not only functional but also visually stunning.
Building Process and Techniques
The building process for this project involved a combination of different techniques and materials. Bob and Brian utilized 3D printing to create custom parts and components that would be difficult to fabricate using traditional methods. This allowed them to achieve a high level of accuracy and detail in their build. Additionally, they employed woodworking and CNC carving to construct the main structure of the media centre and server rack. The use of electronics was also crucial in bringing the project to life, as it enabled the integration of lighting effects and interactive elements.
One of the standout features of this project is the use of LED lighting to create a dynamic and immersive experience. The LEDs are programmed to change colors and patterns, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the Star Wars-inspired design. This not only enhances the visual appeal of the media centre but also makes it a functional piece of art that can be enjoyed in any home entertainment setup.
