CAD Designing a prop - Andor [season 2] micro-prop

Thought id post up a short video explaining the process

for how I created the 3D printable micro-prop

seen in the previous post, from Andor.

More Star Wars inspired 3D models: Prusa [FREE stl's]

Just before finishing up for Christmas, I had an idea for a 3D model. It's sort of based on a ceiling lamp shade, Star Wars inspired, but could also be used for panels etc. This is version 1 of 3, all slightly different.

I drew up and then modified the design into three different versions.

Next up: Star Wars Andor season 2 TV show, published a promotional magazine, called 'Rebelion an ANDOR zine' [wiki link]

In it was a page of 'micro-props' that I liked the look of so have recreated them to be 3D printable.

Above image shows original model, insert, and my 3D drawn model. I designed it size wise to fit in palm of a hand. Or course you could scale it up or down to suit your preference.

I included in the design to accept M3 knurled brass inserts to be able to clamp the two halves together. The orange lite lens  part is not included [at the moment] as this was going to be an actual LED.

This one is a communication unit of some sort. The press button in this version is a fixed item, separate parts for ease of printing orientation.

Next up was this desktop microphone. Again the sizes are based visually off the original image and the rough size of the microphone. The base resembles a car engines piston, connection rod.

This is still a work in progress, so will link file once completed.

Original design & credit goes to Lucasfilms props department.

Nubian Royal Starship's Droid Bay - BUILD PROJECT - 1.0 [Didn't happen]

Allllllll the way back in March 2014........

Next project after completing R5

After thinking about what to build next I saw these and wanted to have a go at building.

These are the 'Droid Bays' found aboard the Royal Naboo Star ship.

There are toy versions, which I have used as a base for creating it.

Here's some more pic's from inside the ship.

And here are the CAD drawings I started drawing up in May 2013

This is not going to be a two minute job and may not even get off the ground as the internal framework also has to eb worked out. Plus it has to be light and be able to be disassembled.

This idea never came to fruition, and with the advent of 3D printing, it still could be a viable idea to make, but others are built these since, so am just posting this up from my draft post.
