Star Trek Discovery Phaser kit

thingiverse

This is my first attempt at making a prop kit so there are many inaccuracies. I was graciously provided annotated photos of a prop and I plan to make a more accurate version and one with cavities to install electronics. The phaser is scaled to my hands, which are quite bulky. The actual prop is measured at 9.25 inches whereas this one measures 10.5 inches. You might want to scale this kit down by 5% or 10%. Addendeum: I was told that If you scale the parts down to 87% it will bring the overal length down to the 9 1/4 inches of the original prop. Tolerances are pretty tight so expect a lot of sanding and fudging. I also tried to design the Type-1 phaser grid to flip up with a turn of one of the thumb wheels. My design was kind of lacking so there were some issues with the prototype I printed so if you want the grid to flip It will require a lot of work on your part. If you are not feeling brave you can just glue the grid into place. Ifyou are going to use for cosplay I recomend adding some reinforcement to the "Handle" and "Back" pieces. Since this is my first posting to Thignyverse please let me know if there are any issues with the STL files. I will try to correct them as soon as possible. UPDATE: I was not satisfied with the Type-1 Phaser so I rebuilt it to make it more accurate, thanks to some images and dimensions that were sent to me. You will find the updated Type-1 phaser files in the New Type-1V2v zip file. There has been a change in how the parts go together. I have not made the instructions yet but will upload soon. I am also making changes to the Type-2 phaser and will upload those files when ready. UPDATE: I made changes to the Type-2 phaser to correct a few inaccuracies (didn't get them all) and I added a few more moving parts like the emitter, the trigger and the stun/kill switch. I also made the power switch in three parts so you can print the part on the knob that lights up in clear filament or mold and cast it in clear resin. The new files are in the New Type-2V2.zip file. I also added updated instructions in the Instruction.zip file. Oh, the files are also scaled up slightly too large. scale all the parts down to 87% to make the phaser the same length as the filming prop.
