Star Wars Electro Binoculars & Case

VanOaksProps takes on Luke Skywalker's electrobinoculars from The Empire Strikes Back, building a screen-accurate replica from a 3D-printed model with LED accents, detailed paintwork, and weathering. As a bonus, a custom fabric-lined flight case inspired by Disney's Galaxy's Edge is also constructed to house the finished prop. This entry in the creator's casual 'Let's Make' series focuses on personal passion builds rather than step-by-step instruction. The result is a polished Star Wars replica that bridges DIY prop-making and theme-park fandom.

IKEA HACKING: Star Wars Themed Bookcase | EXTREME Ikea Kallax Flip

VanOaksProps transforms a plain IKEA Kallax shelving unit into a Star Wars-themed display case worthy of a serious collector. The build combines 3D-printed greebles (detailed surface components), acrylic panels, and integrated LED lighting to give the piece a high-end, sci-fi aesthetic. Spray primer and grey enamel paint unify the finish, while custom wiring ties the lighting together neatly. The creator shares free 3D greeble files on Thingiverse so viewers can replicate the look.
