My wife and i just got home from a nice vacation, on the last day of the trip we got to go to Galaxies Edge at Hollywood Studios. If your a star wars fan you have to see it, its crazy, is like walking around on a movie set. Anyways, i got super inspired and wanted to make something that would fit in there or in a movie room, so i made this cool panel to cover over my boring light switch and 70s thermostat control for the upstairs wall ( hopefully future movie room hallway) I don't have patterns for you guys this week because it was such a unique design to fit my specific space, but if anyone is interested i can upload the basic prints i mad if it will help you start your own specific wall panel! Let me know in the comments below

3D STL files i used for this build

Greeble i used for the control knob (I scaled down mine)

    Once I saw the Smugglers Room I was hooked along with Van Oak Props, along with a few other channels. Who knew you could have so much fun doing this. Great video.

    I just got hit simultaneously with a wave of inspiration and problem solving that I now intend to use to hide my own light switch! Thanks!

    Superb! This suits a home switch dress-up I've been planning.. some light switches and heating controls. Smart work.. Thanks! (Subscribed)

    Looks great! I'm hesitant to say it, but you might've forgotten the "r" in "comfort"

    Cool video. The end result looks great. Although... I'm sorry to be, "that guy" but, you really should not be working on a light switch with the cover off while there is still power to the socket. Also, while it is likely fine, you may want to check with your local code to assure that isn't a fire hazard or against code. I also felt hot gluing it to the wall was an interesting choice considering you have a 3D printer. Designing a quick plate with a few magnets could be temporary mounted with drywalls screws or double sided tape. That way when you need to replace the batteries you can just pop it off without having to break the glue and then having to reapply it each time. Or, again you have a 3D printer. You could create a magnetic panel that can be popped off from the front giving you access to the batteries. I dunno, just some suggestions.

    It would be to your benefit in the near Future to make all light fixtures and buttons Llama accessible. Please and Thank you.
