Star Trek: TNG TR 560 Tricorder Kit

<p>Happy to present my version of the TR 560 Mk VI Tricorder as seen on the first season of Star Trek TNG. This early style featured a small hand scanner that tucked away at the top, includes a medical tricorder module with its own stow-away scanner. The medical module and hand scanners use 6x2mm magnets to attach to the unit. Also added option to use 6x3mm magnets which should be stronger--those parts are in a zip file.</p><p>The original TR 560 prop also had a little spring-loaded brass rod that would secure the lid when closed. My model replicates that function with a printable rod and spring, but if you don’t like the look of the rod sticking out there’s a version without it that uses 6x2mm magnets to hold the lid closed.</p><p>The hinge was printed at .15mm layer height and a .4mm nozzle and it works great, just need to be careful removing supports. Use a safety pin to clear the holes if the pin won’t push through all the way.</p><p>All parts have been set to the orientation I printed them in and supports are needed for medical module, body, door, hinges, and medical scanner top.</p><p>Includes belt holster, adjustable display stand, and <a href="https://imgur.com/a/z0aO5ue">image file to print the decals</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>Might add a hollowed version for electronics someday.&nbsp;</p><p>Use color change/swapping for the Sensor Knobs, Sensor Box, Scanner Tip, and display stand tags.&nbsp;</p><p>Here is a guide that explains how color swapping works, at least with Prusaslicer: <a href="https://help.prusa3d.com/en/article/color-change_1687">https://help.prusa3d.com/en/article/color-change_1687</a></p><p>Update March 5 2022 - Fixed part 13 to fit the med scanner.&nbsp;</p>
