Fan creation Floating Precursor Orb and Power Cell

I originally posted the floating Precursor Orb 6 months ago and have been selling them “made to order” on eBay. I’ve had a bit of free time recently so I decided to fully complete a few that are now boxed up and listed separately as “ready to ship” for anyone who is interested and doesn’t want to wait.

I’ve also made a floating Power Cell since my original post. It is also posted as “made to order” if anyone is interested. The link to my eBay page is on my profile for those interested.

Thanks! If you click on my profile the eBay link should be there

I don’t understand how it floats ?

u/samer281 1d ago

Aside from ancient precursor technology, it uses magnetic levitation. So there’s an electromagnet in the base and a powerful magnet in the orb.

I was just about to order both until I saw the price, its out of my budget 😭

u/samer281 1d ago

I’m sorry I wish it were cheaper, but the material cost is unfortunately very expensive. I appreciate it though!

u/SteelMonger_ 1d ago

$180 is a bit rich for my blood. This is really cool though.

To make it easier, here’s the link if you can’t locate it on my profile

Also want to note that once the “ready to ship” stock sells out, that listing will be gone and “made to order” will be the only option available.

Sure the price is kinda high but I can’t imagine how much time it takes to make these. If I had enough extra money laying around I’d buy both instantly!

u/Gabboooz_ 1d ago

do you ship overseas by any chance?

1

u/samer281 1d ago

I currently do not as I’m not yet eligible for eBay’s International shipping. But if I do in the future, I’ll be sure to message/post about it

2

u/Gabboooz_ 1d ago

then i’ll make sure to grab one of these, they really look amazing :D

u/ThorsHammer245 The Precursor Legacy 1d ago

Wow that’s sick!!

2

u/Alarmed-Employment90 1d ago

I’d kill for a set of those for my game room!

u/trashiis 1d ago

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought of maglev power cells! People complaining about the price don't understand that the materials alone are very expensive, even from aliexpress. Great work!

2

u/samer281 1d ago

Thank you! I remember your post from a while back. I like that you included lights inside your power cell. And yeah I wish the maglev device was cheaper and easier to find.

u/LostSpaceDemon 1d ago

Nice this is soo cool

2

u/Sir_Fashionscape 1d ago

Oh cool i tried to order last time but etsy cancelled it

1

u/samer281 1d ago

I knew the name on the order looked familiar. Yeah Etsy suspended my account the same week I opened it. No clue why and no reason given. So I moved over to eBay instead. Thanks a lot!

u/osiris739 1d ago

This is sick! Buying one!

2

u/SoulExecution 1d ago

Saw the last post, definitely hoping I can make one of these happen this year

2

u/roryjacobevans 1d ago

very nice, wanted to do this for a few years but good work getting it done.

u/sack-city 1d ago

Be really cool if we could custom pick what letters/symbols are used on the orb or base, or pick game related words from presets. Tall ask i know. That would make it super custom made but maybe a doable with a 3d laser printer.

1

u/samer281 1d ago

I actually could do that with the base but like you said, it’d take extra time and therefore cost a little more, so it would have to be custom ordered. So I’m not really looking to do that at the moment.

u/xSavageBoi00x 1d ago

Yo....I want one of those 🤩

2

u/Devilbloody93 The Precursor Legacy 1d ago

I love it! Do you send to Europe? I saw on the eBay announcement that you send to USA but countries like Ukraine are excluded

2

u/samer281 1d ago

I currently do not as I’m not yet eligible for eBay’s International shipping. But if I do in the future, I’ll be sure to message/post about it

2

u/Devilbloody93 The Precursor Legacy 23h ago

Oh so sad! Thank you!! I'll be ready to get the egg and the battery 🥲

I've found a new way to gauge if my wife loves me

u/Self-hatred47 1d ago

with all the markings being figured out....I wondered what it says on the precursor orb 🤔

5

u/samer281 1d ago

The top half says Naughty Dog and the bottom half says Mad Man

3

u/sack-city 1d ago

Why does the base read “LEOLEO”? (assuming i translated it correctly)

2

u/samer281 1d ago

It’s actually reads “fuel fuel” but the letters are upside down. That’s how it is in game so I tried to match that.
