Building a Star Wars Hologram!

Dive into the galaxy of DIY prop making with this Andor Season 2-inspired holoprojector build! In this video, I walk you through the entire process of creating a screen-accurate Star Wars-style holo projector prop—from sourcing and modifying vintage parts to advanced techniques like 3D printing, laser cutting, weathering, and wiring LED effects. Perfect for Star Wars cosplayers, sci-fi set designers, and prop-making enthusiasts, this project combines creativity, craftsmanship, and practical electronics to bring a believable in-universe prop to life. Whether you're building your next cosplay piece or just love the art of fabrication, this tutorial is packed with tips, tools, and inspiration to level up your next Star Wars prop build.

NOTE: The paint on the floor fan did not test positive for lead and was primarily removed with chemical paint stripper. The stubborn parts were hand sanded and proper protective equipment was worn at all times.
