Today in the Smugglers Room we are finding our way by showing you how to make a Sith Wayfinder with a Display Case! The Wayfinder was seen in Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker, and it has been one of those props we have wanted to make since seeing the film. So today . . . let's make one!

@madmikeee9643

@@TheSmugglersRoom That's why I was suggesting you paint the back of the acrylic and let it dry first... Basically I see this as , 1) you paint your object the color you want, 2) you paint the back of the clear acrylic the same color and let dry. 3) Then you glue the painted side of the acrylic to the object. The paint on the back of the acrylic should completely block any visual cues of glue. I am in no way saying this will 100% work, just a thought that I had while eating my lunch at work and watching the vid

I smile every time you use that closed cell foam for diffusers. Modellers use tiny amounts of white PVA glue on clear parts to prevent frosting, maybe a drop on each end would work for those orange acrylic pieces. It's not like you need massive amounts of holding power.

For the amber acrylic, instead of glue you could try using the same tape used for phone screen installs. Cut it to cover the entire back and only the back. Then there would be no variation.
@RexusKing
@RexusKing 3 года назад
16:22 My wild guess: Use clear double sided tape. Tape the double sided tape on the back side of the acrylic, then laser cut it, that way the tape is a perfect match for the shape of the acrylic and it's transparent.
@bluesteve124
@bluesteve124 3 года назад
I might suggest trying a transparent double sided adhesive film used in scrapbooking. It will pretty much be automatically acid-free (non-yellowing), I'm pretty certain there are permanent versions, and you could probably apply it to the back side of your acrylic before laser cutting. ;-)

My laser guy had suggested applying 3M double sided tape to the back of the acrylic before cutting. Then once cut, you just peel off the backing and adhere it. Wouldn’t work so well for transparent/translucent pieces. But a good idea for opaque parts being stacked.

Definitely will keep the brushed alu' in mind, looks very nice and is dirt-cheap to make too. As for the orange parts, only idea i got would be to glue them before assembling the sides with simple clear tape on the back. Basically just slot them in, with the part "face down", put a strip of tape behind each line and i think the surface tension around the clear part combined to the packing tape *should* hold it in place. Its a guess, but its worth testing out i think. Another, slightly more annoying way, would be to make each of the strips on a single large plate with a thin lip, and make an inner "step" in the part you're gluing them to so the glue is actually around the clear plate and not directly under each strip. Takes more planning and using a router tool i guess, but at least its clean.

Great job as always! Love the build! I'll definitely have to give that brushed aluminum trick a try! As for the orange acrylic, one possibility could be as simple as laying down a strip of clear double-sided tape on one side and cutting it to the shape of the piece. That way it'll be significantly less likely to show through and should still hold just fine. The other thought I had was spray adhesive which might give a more even coat.

Love all the little details, lights and the plaque on top of the display. As for the orange pieces two things come to mind.

Very nice with the display, just the way finder would have been cool to but the display lifts the whole thing. As for the orange plastic, since they are not lit a double sided tape should work. Just put the orange bit on a bit of the tape, cut of the excess and then remove the protection from the other side and insert it. It might even work as a diffuser, depending on the tape of cause, if you have a lit version.

For the orange details you could use thin transparent double sided tape that Sellotape make, basically it's just double sided sticky tape :)

Fill those holes with epoxy resin instead of cutting acrylic.

Another incredible build my friend. Love the use of the clay foam for the stone effect. I like your approach for the brushed aluminium look. I had come up with a different technique. I hold down the acrylic on a flat surface. Then, using double sided tape, wrap some 80 grit sandpaper to an ABS tube. Then drag the sandpaper over the acrylic, in a straight line. Repeating til I get the results I like. Then wipe/wash the surface and paint. It’s a bit scary taking a coarse sandpaper to laser cut acrylic the first time. I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to get the inset pieces in the “Death Star wall lights”, without the glue showing. I have a number of inlay parts to do for a current project. I’m going to test using a clear resin, applied from behind. Will let you know how it works (once I get up the courage). I fortunately have some test parts first. As for press fit, that’s kind of hard with laser cut parts. The laser cuts at a slight bevel and a kerf. I think the most likely way to accomplish this would be to cut the inset parts in exactly the same place as the openings are cut. Then they should be close to the same bevel (the angle varies depending on the position on the table. As for the kerf, try an offset of about 0.001”. It’s going to take experimenting to determine the kerf on your laser. I believe the kerf is also going to vary (by ten thousandths) across the bed. I’ve also found that you get very slight differences between acrylic sheets (colors and batches). Age, storage and climate cause subtle variances in your cuts (I’ve been doing a lot of laser cutting of late). I’m thinking I might need to add this way finder to my growing list of projects. I love it. Also, thanks for the shout out. Long live the Guild.

I know this was a year ago but there is 3m double sided adhesive that is clear that may have helped with the acrylic

Perhaps Mod Podge or Pledge Revive Floor Gloss could hold the orange acrylic in place and not show through? I'm just thinking of what a model builder would use on plastic windshields or canopy glass.

Another amazing piece. Had you considered using clear acrylic with something orange behind those accents on the side? Or even adhering them to the larger black acrylic prior to them being on the display itself? The glue would be on the edges of the acrylic them instead of the middle.
@TheSmugglersRoom
@TheSmugglersRoom 3 года назад
Thanks Keith, i had considered that, and I did try glueing the sides on the "left" side after i made a mess of the "right" side, but it was still visible. Thanks for watching!

@@TheSmugglersRoom That sucks. It was just a thought that came to mind honestly. I have zero experience with this sort of stuff. Honestly, the "mistakes" could just be seen as wear and tear cause I bet this device has been in a number of ships over its existence. I don't know why but the thought of "biological greeblies" just popped in my head... like an acid burn or blaster damage... something that looks organic instead of mechanical.

if it's acrylic and not polycarbonate you should be able to fuse two acrylic pieces by dissolving the contact surface with acetone
