HAL 9000 Terminal

Introduction

Bring a little retro sci-fi to your space with the HAL 9000 Terminal. A sleek display piece inspired by the most iconic AI interface in movie history. Featuring glowing screen details, control buttons, and that unmistakable red “eye,” this desktop prop looks like it was pulled straight from Discovery's control deck.

Perfect for movie fans, gamers, makers, and anyone who’s ever wanted their room to feel just a little more… sentient.

“I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t stop staring at this.”

Model Details

Easy print & assembly. Instructions in the Assembly Card section below.
AMS recommended.
A PDF with some screens and the HAL 9000 badge in the Documentation section.
- For the screen decals, I printed the screens on some plain paper and added some clear acetate over the top to give that ‘screen’ look.
- For the HAL 9000 badge, I printed this on some glossy photo sticker paper.
You can find an example of how the LED Strip etc was installed below:
Using a soldering iron, solder the LED strip to the USB-C connector OR use solder wire connectors (heat gun required) to connect the USB-C connector to the LED strip.
I have listed below the non printable parts required. I've tried to keep the lighting solution as simple as possible but if someone has a better solution, feel free to share in the comments
Possible future updates will include a sound module with some classic HAL 9000 sound bites.
