The Dejarik hologram table was too small,

So I’ll continue later.

Today I’m replacing the LED tape strips coz the one that comes with the kit is definitely toy looking.

I’ve found a Light Blue one that light up with 5v and with more lights on it.

Here is the difference :

The hologram table buttons were a real nightmare. It was very difficult to add the correct number of buttons. I tried twice, but it never looked presentable. The 0.5 mm fibers are too weak. They break all the time.

So, plan B: only seven buttons on each side using 1 mm fibers. I also replaced the table legs with putty, making them wider and slightly higher to create space for the fibers.

For the color I’ve just used the same Tamiya Silver-ish black.

I’ll finish it spraying some transparent laker on it.

Working on the switch lights of the Dejarik table (holograms chess).

The original table is in aluminum, so it was a nightmare to open holes on it , I’ve ask a friend to 3D print our original one , rescaled and added some holes for the LED fibers .

It looks more pain in the a** to add all the buttons so I’ve decided to add only 7 each sides.

Can’t wait to receive the piece !

It took me one year to finally update my gun-canon shooting cockpit (and this blog).

I had white LED in the beginning but I’ve changed them to blue , green and multi colored.

I still prefer the ALIEN spaceship look.

I’ve lost the hologram table so I need a friend to 3D print it for me.

10 years since I’ve bought the whole thing and still haven’t finished it.

Is there people in this world like me ? 🤣
