Ever wanted to print and assemble your very own Star Wars-style control panel?

This set is a modular expansion/remix for the WORBY wall organiser system, designed to turn your wall, shelf, desk area, display backdrop, or prop room into a tiny section of an Imperial starship, Death Star corridor, droid maintenance bay, or suspiciously important control room that definitely should not be switched off.

Instead of being one fixed panel, this upload includes 11 different tile designs that can be mixed, matched, repeated, and arranged however you like. You can build a small control panel, a larger wall section, or a full sci-fi display backdrop using the same WORBY-style modular layout.

Print the plates, assemble the details, choose your colours, add a bit of grime if you like, and build your own custom wall-mounted Star Wars-inspired control panel.

Included Panel Designs

This set includes 11 different panels:

1x1 Button-Light Panel
1x1 Data Card Shelf
1x1 Droid Data Port
1x1 Imperial Crest & Hook
1x1 Tracking Display
2x1 Bar Graph
2x1 Data Port 1
2x1 Data Port 2
2x2 Death Star Wall Device
2x2 Droid Plate
3x1 Death Star Wall Pattern

The designs include a mix of display panels, data ports, droid-style interfaces, vents, wall greeblies, button panels, hooks, and decorative Death Star-inspired wall details.

The goal was to make the whole system feel like something that could belong on the wall of a Star Wars control room, while still being printable, modular, and easy to arrange in your own layout.

Build Your Own Layout

Because this is based on the WORBY system, you are not locked into one design.

You can arrange the tiles however you like:

• Small control panel for a desk setup
• Large wall-mounted display piece
• Backdrop for figures, props, helmets, or lightsabers
• Droid workshop-style wall panel
• Imperial corridor or Death Star wall section
• Custom sci-fi home gallery display
   

You can also repeat certain panels, like the Death Star Wall Pattern, Data Ports, or Bar Graph, to make the final display look more like a believable in-universe wall instead of a single decorative print.

RGB Tealight Compatible Panels

The Bar Graph and Droid Plate panels were designed around the RGB LED tealights from Maker Supply.

This means you can add simple lighting without needing to wire LEDs, solder anything, program a microcontroller, or disappear into the usual electronics rabbit hole.

These panels use magnets to hold the covers in place, so you can remove the covers to access the RGB tealights when you need to turn them on/off or replace batteries.

It gives the panel a nice glowing sci-fi effect while keeping the build simple and beginner-friendly.

Weathering & Finishing

On my display build, I weathered the red 2x2 Death Star Wall Device plate to make it look more worn and grimy, like it had been ripped straight off the wall of some overworked Imperial facility.

But you can absolutely weather any of the panels if you want a dirtier, more lived-in Star Wars look.

You can leave everything clean for a sharper display piece, or dirty up the panels with:

• Black acrylic paint
• Brown acrylic paint
• Acrylic washes
• Silver Rub ’n Buff
• Dry brushing around edges and raised details
   

A bit of black and brown paint in the corners, seams, vents, and around the greeblies really helps sell the grime. A light touch of silver Rub ’n Buff on the edges, bolts, raised details, and worn areas gives that chipped metal look and makes the details pop.

You do not need to go overboard. Even a simple wash and a few silver highlights can make a big difference.

Printing Notes

Most of the panels are designed to be printed as flat-backed modular plates, with separate details or colour elements using AMS where needed.

You can print them in classic Star Wars-style colours like black, grey, white, red, blue, and silver, or use your own colour scheme to match your room, display, or collection.

Final Notes

This was designed as a fun way to turn the WORBY system into a modular Star Wars-inspired wall control panel.

The best part is that it is not one locked-in design. You can print the panels you like, repeat the ones you want more of, leave some clean, weather others, add lighting, skip the lighting, and build something that fits your own display.

More panel designs and variations may be added later, so feel free to leave a comment if there is another tile, greeblie, data port, vent, button panel, or weird Star Wars wall thing you would like to see added.

Bill of Materials

This set is mostly 3D printed, but you will need a few magnets and optional lighting parts depending on which panels you print.

Main WORBY Mounting Magnets

Each 1x1 tile position uses the same magnet setup as the original WORBY system:

1x 10x2mm magnet for the tile
1x 10x2mm magnet for the backing plate

Total required per panel size:

1x1 panel = 2x 10x2mm magnets
2x1 panel = 4x 10x2mm magnets
2x2 panel = 8x 10x2mm magnets
3x1 panel = 6x 10x2mm magnets

Extra Parts for Specific Panels

Bar Graph panel:

6x 6x2mm magnets
2x RGB LED tealights from Maker Supply

Droid Plate panel:

8x 6x2mm magnets
1x RGB LED tealight from Maker Supply

Droid Data Port / Droid Socket:

1x M3 x 10mm screw

Please check magnet polarity before gluing. The small cover magnets are what allow the Bar Graph and Droid Plate covers to be removed for tealight access.
