VanOaksProps constructs a striking 'floating' lightsaber display unit built around an acrylic tube, a NeoPixel ring, and an Arduino Nano to create a glowing containment-case effect. The build showcases an NSabers Obi-Wan Kenobi replica lightsaber as its centerpiece. The creator also references a free online NeoPixel effect generator to simplify the LED animation coding. The result is a display-quality sci-fi prop piece suitable for collectors and Halloween set designers alike.
VanOaksProps walks through a full scratch build of the Gatekeeper Droid from Star Wars: Skeleton Crew (also seen in Return of the Jedi), using a combination of 3D-printed parts, PVC pipe, and everyday hardware-store materials. The eye dome is a repurposed clear Christmas ornament housing a NeoPixel ring driven by a custom-edited Arduino Nano sketch. Finishing involves layered spray paints and Fuller's Earth weathering to nail the worn, galactic aesthetic. Free templates and code files are linked in the description to help builders replicate the project.
