Dungeons and Dragons Tabletop Room Foams Redesigned for Sound Echo Problems
As you can see in this post I mentioned a couple of days ago, some sound insulation and echo canceling foam material started to fall in the room we made for the dungeons and dragons game project.
Since we were thinking about this project for youtube, what we decided to do was to solve the sound echo problem in an AESTHETIC way as soon as possible and frankly, I think it is much more beautiful like this.
We first took the material we had to laser cutting. Our close friend working there didn't charge us any money. We had glued it flat before and it looked very ugly. They were not all flat. There was a curvature and it looked bad. But now it is possible to see that it is more beautiful.
We decided to cut them all in a hexagonal shape with laser cutting. I can say that we chose this design because it resembles HIVE and because it resembles the shapes of the dice used in the Dungeons and Dragons game. Actually, we were thinking of making an arrangement with triangles and squares, but we decided to change.
Because of our previous bad experience with tape, we used adhesive silicone this time
Some silicones have too much odor and carcinogens. That's why we did some research and visited a few hardware stores. After we found out how strong the silicones they had were and what they were used for, we bought them. This time we didn't want to buy something directly weak. We didn't want to buy material we didn't know.
One of the hardware stores offered us a bad silicone gun. I can even say that he didn't even charge us for it. But we realized that it was a very bad gun and we went to the construction workers working on our street. They showed hospitality and trusted us and gave us their silicone guns. The gun you see in the picture is a gun we got from the construction workers on our street.
Anyway, afterward we glued them all together using this silicone. The measuring device we used was cut out of wood with a laser cutter. Thanks to this cutting, everything was equal. It was very important that the distance between all of them was equal.
We measured and measured again and again to get it evenly applied.
We plan to publish this project on YouTube. Maybe we can even share some videos on the hive platform.
I need to talk about it again with my friends. That's why, because it will be a project that we will publish, it has to look good. The height from the ground and the things that will be visible where the camera will take it are very important.
Nowadays, social media content is consumed very FAST and very SERIAL and very MUCH. But we will not do it in a short way, our videos will be long, and this room will not change for a long time. That's why we need to paste it properly.
I can say that I am very satisfied with the result. It looks much better now than it used to and it definitely feels cleaner. It feels more cared for.
It feels more professional. We were surprised to see something so different with just laser cutting. By the way, did you know that the painting in the room was done by a friend who is in the hive?
The person who made this painting is @elwnyx . I don't hesitate to say that it is our favorite thing in the room.

Our Steps
First of all, we removed the black, dark and unaesthetic material that created a bad image on the wall.
Then we searched for a design for this material. We saw on the internet that beautiful designs were made with squares and triangles. But then we liked the hive design more. And we decided to use it.
We took it to our friend who has a laser cutting device and he cut and trimmed all of them beautifully for us with laser cutting in the same size.
He also cut them with a measuring device so that they were the right distance apart.
We searched for the right material for gluing and chose the silicone that we believed to be healthy.
We measured it many times before bonding it with silicone.
We glued them all calmly and without rushing.
And here is the final product! I hope you like it. There will be videos coming soon. We are excited. Thank you very much for reading.
