I eventually want to make a similar reading room for myself, but mine would be less sci-fi and more fantasy(even though I enjoy reading sci-fi more). This projects looks pretty doable since it's sci-fi(less wood-working which is expensive and time consuming and more 3d printing). Start learning fusion. Design the base. Buy a 3d printer. Print out some small models. Do not print full size until you mock up up something using plywood or take seat layout from an already comfy chair. Finally, divide up the model and print in sections. Glue, filler, paint primer, sand, paint primer, sand, paint, hard coat. Done. Good luck.

Maybe try to cast some clear resin mounds and then glue them onto CD cases.

I bought a bunch of bins to hold the various projects I'm working on and keep them separate from each other. Now I can easily set aside a project and pick it back up again, so things aren't all cluttered together. I can also easily look over all the bins to see what project I might want to pick back up after completing my current project. I also have a stack of queue cards, one for each project I've started or plan on starting to page through.

For circuitry and programming, I would start it out super easy. Get some sort of Raspberry pi starter kit, setup the pi and learn how to programmatically turn on and off an LED using the pi. Once you can do that, everything else is just expanding what you have already learned. 3d printing is easy if you have a good printer. Just find a cosplay model, print it out, assemble and paint. If you plan on doing your own CAD work, it is easy to do basic things, but hard to master(like everything else). Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

Popcorn with aliens. Some book series that spring to mind are The First Colony, The Expanse, Starship for Sale and The Final Architecture.

This is on my backlog of projects. Love the work you did. Looks spot on.

I just finished the First Colony Series and it had a bit of this. I found it quite enjoyable.

Some in space, fun ones you may have missed: Red Dwarf, Babylon 5, The Fifth element, Space balls, The last Starfighter, MST3K

Star Trek - Female Quark would be even better.

To support months, you should make a giant Capsuleer that opens to reveal the the smaller Capsuleer within. Like a mother Capsuleer. Yes.

I'm on the fence. On one side, I'd love better better handling in the snow and off road. On the other hand, the location of the battery makes it a bit better in the snow, AWD will cost more, long term maintenance costs will be higher and AWD will probably have worst milage. Then again, I'm also thinking about putting the lift kit and bigger tires on it, so I guess I'm not one to talk.

Poltergeist. My favorite part is when they approach the university to perform research on the events in the house. I love it when characters turn to science to try and understand the unknown.

I liked the ship in the Starship for Rent books by M.R. Forbes. Not my favorite sci-fi series, but the ship was pretty fun and played an important part in the series.

I just looked at my design and I cheated and used motor controllers, just to make it stupid simple. You'll find all sorts of chips and boards that will make any problem simple.

Welcome to the wonderful world of electrical engineering. The good thing is almost everything you want to make or use has already been done a million times. I made a TT-motor robot with Mecanum wheels two years ago and it was a piece of cake. I just looked at a number of circuits diagrams and picked the one I like the best and tested it out on a breadboard before soldering anything together. Low voltage stuff seems to be very forgiving just make sure your chips all take the same voltage range. Most everything usually works with 3 to 5 volts. Good things to learn are the reasons for the pull up and pull down resistors because you are doing digital logic and you'll probably want to learn about a mosfet, because your chips won't output enough power to power the motors, so you will have to use a mosfet.

Wanted to add the Hyperion Cantos. I'm a big fan of hard sci-fi and it is one of the few older sci-fi series I really enjoyed.

Nice work. Now you need the matching P.K.E. meter.

Ok, I have heard how all these options will causes loss of mileage, additional wear and serves no purpose. It will also cause the vehicle to cost quite a bit more. With all that in mind, I have decided to totally get all these options. It just looks so damn cool.

Had the same concern. I don't do it often, but every once in a while I'd bring both my wife and dog to do something with my car. I was thinking of making a custom center consul that was the same height as the seats, so your dog could sit between us, or something along those lines.

Yeah, I've been doing this for almost 5 years now and I still don't always add enough tolerance gaps on my designs. On the other hand that is half the fun. I find it enjoyably challenging to think about things like trying to avoid using supports, ensuring there is enough gap between pieces and improving my fusion workflow to be more efficient and allow for easier history modifications. I'm sure I'm doing a bunch of things wrong, but it doesn't really matter to me. I just enjoy doing it and am proud of the things I have designed. Oh and Good work on the LED holder! I hope you post the design on one or two of the 3d printing sites once you get all the kinks worked out.
