Mystery Science Theater 3000 Modular Silhouette MST3K

thingiverse

This is a *modular* 3D printable silhouette based on the TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K). Put it on the your TV, computer screen, or even a window! **MST3K Silhouette.stl** has the 3 characters and is just over six seats wide, and measures just under 19cm. The rightmost partial seat is squared off to fit the corner of the screen. The leftmost seat is rounded to look like the last seat on the end of a row, which is nice if you choose to only use this piece. **MST3K Silhouette Extra Seats.stl** adds 5 empty seats to the left of the main model. It can also be added to another of itself so you can add as many seats as you'd like to the left of the main model. Extra seat modules can be attached with a small amount of CA (super glue) on the bonding edges. Using a straightedge to keep the bottom edges aligned/parallel is recommended. Use wax paper underneath to keep the parts from bonding to your work surface. This should be able to sit on the bezel of a TV or computer screen, or a window frame, with no assistance. If your 3D printer prints a lip around the base of your models (first layer printed too low), you may need to sand the lip off to help the model fit the screen/bezel. If your bezel is chamfered or rounded it may be more challenging. If you really want it to look just like the original show you'll need to print it *much* bigger, so that roughly 7 seats fit across the bottom of your entire screen. IMO that is far too big and would be annoying (goodbye subtitles, sports scores, etc.). I use it on a 55 inch screen and it is still easy to see the silhouette at original scale from ~2m away, and it isn't annoying to leave it there all the time.
