Show and Tell: Laser-Cut Memory Sphere Display
Sean experiments with designing for laser cutting in this prop replica project inspired by Blade Runner 2049. Using our Universal Systems laser cutter, he makes a futuristic-looking display stand for the memory spheres that appear in the film. We talk through his design process and assemble this neat light-up stand. Find the memory orb replica here.

Mechanical Dragonfly Automata Kit Build and Review
Time for a model kit build! This steampunk-inspired mechanic…
Beautiful display! If you do decide to sell a kit could you please let me/us know, I’d love one for my sphere!
Will do!
Also note that we accidentally used Take 1 of the close-up assembly – where I assemble it wrong! 😉
Well done, if you go there I would love to buy a kit as well, please keep us posted. I did just buy an orb on ETSY thx for that tip !
That link sold out quickly. I missed my chance.
Next step is to make it battery powered and light turn on automatically when orb inserted
See – this is where my projects get out of hand. Stop it. 🙂
There will be more.
I thought there were two lights either side that spun around the orb. It looks like a neopixel strip inside the box the orb is lowered into.
Cool display! Just find out that the sphere is not available anymore, but I would love to buy a kit anyway, please keep us posted.
Correct – starts orange and spins to blue as it lowers inside. I wanted to keep it simple. 😉
We added a few display kits to Ken’s shop if anyone is interested:

thanks!!! I got the third to last one just in time 🙂
Imagine adding a vibrate motor, the bearing would rotate
Sean please post more kits or put the files up for sale -please
we ran out of orbs! But more are on order as well as parts for more displays – probably about 2 weeks. Will announce on Etsy and Twitter.
Thanks for the interest.
Got my kit a few months ago, then proceeded to break my arm/wrist so all I’ve been able to do is look at the box. 😢 Arm’s finally nearly better and I can’t wait to get this built! Looks great on the video, Sean. Excited to start my FIRST build in a very long time.
Noooo! Glad you’re on the mend.
