# Building Your Own EPCOT Spaceship Earth Wall
A little of [EPCOT]() can follow you home—and cover an entire wall. Bryan Bouldin, the creator behind [BINGOT Creative Works](), designed the Grand and Miraculous Wall System: a modular, 3D-printed wall inspired by Spaceship Earth, with lighting that turns its raised geometry into a show.
**This is Bryan’s design and product.** He sells the digital builder package through his own shop. If you want to build one, **[buy Bryan’s printing files and builder guide on Etsy]()**. The purchase is a digital download; you supply the printer, materials, hardware and work.
The appeal is easy to understand once you see it running. But building a wall means making several choices before the first tile comes off the printer. Here is the story behind Bryan’s project, a showcase of his work and a community build, and what to consider before starting your own.
## Start with the finished show
For the clearest introduction, watch Bryan’s video of the **EPCOT 40th Anniversary Beacons of Magic show on his wall**. The video below comes from BINGOT Creative Works’ own YouTube channel. The wall design and home installation are Bryan’s work; the Disney show that inspires the presentation remains Disney’s.

Notice the relationship between the bright points and the faces around them. The geometry gives the light a surface to work across. That combination is what makes this more interesting than hanging a strand of lights around an office: the wall itself becomes part of the effect.
It also helps explain the attraction connection. Our [Spaceship Earth attraction guide]() covers the ride inside EPCOT’s geodesic sphere. Bryan’s home project takes its visual cue from the landmark’s exterior, rather than trying to reproduce the ride.
## Why Bryan wanted a piece of EPCOT at home
In their [Men of Main Street interview with Bryan](), hosts **Nick Wattendorf and Jeremie Harnois** explored how the project began. The background in this section comes from their published interview. THMPRK did not conduct the interview.
Bryan described being drawn to EPCOT since childhood and wanting to enjoy a piece of it between visits. An unfinished basement gave him space to create an office from the ground up. He had seen painted Spaceship Earth walls, but wanted to explore a dimensional version.
He told the hosts that he began without experience in 3D printing or LED lighting. There were failed parts and a mounting approach he had to tear down. A magnet sticking to a steel framing member during a hardware-store visit helped unlock the solution. The polished wall came through repeated attempts, rather than a ready-made plan.
Even the shop name connects to the room. Bryan explained BINGOT as Bryan’s Innovative Next Generation Office of Tomorrow, incorporating his call sign, Bingo. He also credited Don, known as Gwing DMC, for help with WLED lighting and early testing. His goal included a community that could share lighting ideas.

## What you are buying from his Etsy shop
According to [Bryan’s builder-package listing](), the download includes STL files for printing and a PDF guide covering materials, framing, assembly, magnets and finishing. A two-piece tile option separates the face from the base. Check the listing for the current package contents and price before buying.
The distinction matters for planning: purchasing the files starts the project. It does not deliver a box of finished wall panels or a fully assembled lighting system. You will need a 3D printer, filament, framing materials, magnets, compatible LED pixels and a controller, along with the tools for the build.
The listing’s license is for personal use. It does not permit sharing or reselling the files or selling printed parts. Support the creator by sending other prospective builders to his shop.

## See the build beneath the finished surface
Bryan’s own channel makes a useful companion to the listing. The videos below cover different stages, so you can look at the structure and finish before deciding how much wall to take on.
### The frame comes first
His [initial framing video]() is a useful place to start. A finished light show can make it tempting to think only about colors. Spend time on the support structure first: the size and location of the installation set the boundaries for everything that follows.

Before committing to a full installation, measure the intended space and look at it as a room. Where are the door, desk, outlets and furniture? Where will the controller go? How will you reach the equipment later? These are planning questions to answer with Bryan’s guide in hand, before ordering a large batch of materials.
### Choose a tile finish deliberately
Compare Bryan’s [tile paint and finish video]() with his [two-piece tile design update](). They give you two useful points to investigate: how you want the faces to look, and which construction approach fits your equipment and preferred workflow.

A sensible first milestone is a small sample, using the method in the current builder guide. Look at it where the wall will actually sit. Check the finish in room light as well as with the planned lighting. A sample gives you something concrete to judge before repeating the same choice across a much larger surface.
### Treat lighting as its own stage
Bryan also publishes a dedicated [lighting tutorial](). Watch that before assuming that the finished 40th anniversary presentation arrives ready to play with the printing files. The Etsy listing describes a construction-focused package, with additional lighting guidance through his community channels.

Keep three goals separate when planning: a wall that looks right in daylight, lighting effects you enjoy on their own, and a timed presentation. You can work toward them in stages. Follow the current component instructions and Bryan’s build guidance for the actual installation, rather than treating this feature as a wiring manual.
## A community build, with its builder credited
The system is also becoming a starting point for other makers. In the original post embedded below, **BINGOT Creative Works and @lodavigo** show a build in progress. Bryan’s caption identifies @lodavigo as the builder and describes a two-color print made with a Snapmaker U1.

This is a work in progress, rather than a claim that a second finished wall is on display. It offers a useful comparison with Bryan’s installation: the same system can lead a builder to investigate a different printing workflow. The original post keeps that maker’s work and credit together.
For more of Bryan’s projects beyond the wall, his [classic EPCOT logo project post]() and [Instagram profile]() offer further examples. Those are separate projects; check their individual sources and terms rather than assuming they are included in the wall package.
## Plan your version before filling the print queue
The useful question is how much of this project you want to take on. If you enjoy making, finishing and learning a lighting system, those stages can be part of the appeal. If you mainly want an instant room makeover, read the builder-package description carefully before committing.
Make a short project plan with four lines: the area you want to cover, the materials you need, the printing capacity you have, and the finish you want to achieve. Keep the price of the digital files separate from the physical build budget. There is no single honest total for every room or printer.
Then give the project a small first checkpoint. Review Bryan’s instructions, make the recommended test pieces, and decide whether the result suits your space. A whole wall is a striking destination. A successful sample is a useful first step.
