"A holocron, short for holographic chronicle,[1] was an organic crystal-lattice device which stored phenomenal quantities of data guarded by the device's gatekeeper. Holocrons were used to hold information on force techniques and instruction manuals by force users beginning with the Sith and then the Jedi some three thousand years later." - Wookieepedia A small prop Jedi Holocron I made for a friend, takes about 10-15 hours to print. The side panels are designed to be glued 3 to each inner half, so that they lock together. Inside is a 1"x1" space for a small FX lighting, this can be as simple as a few blue LEDs around a CR2032 battery; as shown in the photos. I printed the inner two halves in transparent PETG filament at 225C, the outer side panels were printed in white ABS at 235C. Print Settings Printer: Powerspec Ultra 3D Printer Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 200 Micron Infill: 20% Post-Printing Spray paint the side panels with acrylic spray paint, i used 24k gold paint and used 3 coats per side for a nice even finish. For more durability, you can also spray it with a acrylic sealant. Afterwards, I used cyanoacrylate (super glue) to attach the panels to the inner cube, putting 3 on each half in a way that they lock together snugly. How I Designed This Rhinoceros3D 5, took about an hour start to finish.
