Sometimes props are much more than mere objects used by characters; they can be MacGuffins or objects otherwise woven into the plot. So it is with the maze “toy” in the first season of Westworld. It’s not just a guide through the park, it’s a path for the hosts (robots) to wake up and gain human conciousness. And Replica Prop Forum (RPF) user Valor used 3D printing to create a spot on replica that would pair nicely with a Dolores costume.
My replica maze is 3D printed. It’s actually amazing how much the texture of the 3D print resembles wood when you paint and weather it. The round box is made from a found paperboard canister. The label, captured from a screen grab from the show. Everything is stained, and weathered to fit the old west aesthetic of the show.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
