Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nice Phaser Rifle

myminifactory

As seen mainly in Star Trek Deep Space Nine series, this Phaser Rifle kit can be printed using different colour filament for different colours of the kit, or painted. I have modelled in a 0.2mm tolerance on all parts, though in test printing some sanding and filing was necessary to get all pieces to fit together. The flashlight on top can be replaced with a straight combat rail as pictured. Both the base of the flashlight housing and the combat rail have provisions for 2 countersunk screws which can attach to their position using 2 rare earth magnets. This has been designed with provision for wiring, LED Lighting and (for those with the programming skills) you could even program a small circuit for sound/animation of lights etc. You could also print it as a fully static prop. Other parts required:12 x small screws 2 x 10mmX2mm rare earth magnet discs1 x rocker switch for the flashlight1 x intermittent switch for the trigger1 x high intensity white LED for the flashlight (and suitable Resistor for 9V power supply)1 x high intensity coloured LED for the emitter (and suitable Resistor for 9V power supply) (I am using Yellow) 2 x 9V Battery snaps and batteries (or equivalent) (you could also use less power to suit your LED)Wire1 x 480mm long length of 18mm PVC Pipe (as pictured)PaintsGlueBog (or other plastic putty for joining the back piece if you have to print in 2 parts) I will add more photos as I paint and assemble my printout, but the dry assembly has come together well. A lot of hours have gone into making this as accurately as I can from images online and from watching DS9, so please comment, show some love and buy me a coffee or 2 (contribute) and if you do print, please post some photos.
