---FREE FILES--- Make your own Holocron

[Studio 49]

So I was digging through the files on my laptop (since I have just moved to a new computer) and found a project I started some time ago and figured there was no use just leaving there and I may as well post it here for any that are interested.
 
The plan was to create my own working Holocron. I was going to laser cut the exterior to make a multilayered acrylic cube and then place a Bluetooth speaker in the middle. Then using a custom albums that I put on my iPhone I could make it seem like the Holocron was talking. This was really me experimenting with what I could do in regards to audio editing and making custom Albums so they are by no means perfect. I got as far as getting a decent amount of tracks imported/edited, designed the exterior and bought a decent speaker but the project has been on hold since.
 
So with all that said, I have attached a link to a ZIP file on my Dropbox where you can easily download it if you wish.
To import it into iTunes it should be a simple matter of dragging and dropping each album as they should be formatted already.
The ZIP also has some rudimentary Cover Art I made to serve as a placeholder from images I found and edited until I could make better ones.
Also it should go without saying I don't own any of this audio
 
If you want to have a go you are more than welcome to download the audio tracks and have a play with them, maybe even get you started on building a Holocron if you wanted

This is where the build got up to before I put it on hold:
At this stage it was really a bit of a prototype to see how thin I could cut with the materials so a couple bits were accidentally snapped by me but it could be done (probably should've given the plastic a bit of a clean as well, oh well)
 
Ok, so a brief explanation of what you're seeing: The design consisted of two shells/layers. The inner layer was a simple blue acrylic cube with the internal faces title sanded to frost them and hide the speaker. I was also toying with installing LED's. I did do a bit of a mock up with a torch and that looked really nice. Then the outer layer consists of the patterned parts.

And, as promised, here are the files I made up to laser cut my holocron. I used a mixture of photos I could find and editing to make them.
As for the internal layer I used this website here: http://www.makercase.com
It's a very clever website that will generate laser cutting plans for cubes when you specify dimensions. (I used the Finger Slot option so I could join the parts)
 
Feel free to use them to make your own Holocron. All I ask is that you don't use the files to produce things to sell. Just personal use only please

That's pretty cool can I ask where you get your cube parts from ?
As sounds like a cool project to try

hows the vader or any costume building going?

Well It's going great, but as of now I'm in the dreaded wait list phase at the moment. I'm waiting on my Leathers, cape and robe from CP and my helmet + chest armour from bookface. Everything's ordered, received or in a wait list.

I sent the finally measurements to CP for the pleating in the robe the other day so hopefully that won't be too far away. As for the wait on the helmet + armour, bookface is currently moving shops so there'll be a bit more of a delay but I can't wait for it to arrive.


 
So in brief heres a bit of an update:

Ah just realised that I never linked to them and only listed the website, sorry my bad.

I think I found the exact file I used, you'll just have to import it to your laser cutting software.

Just download it from the link here and go nuts guys
