CAD Designing a prop - Andor [season 2] micro-prop 1

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.

Link to YouTube: Micro Prop 1 - Andor [season 2]

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.
