Help finding parts for badge - Ahsoka series

[Wonkybonkers]

Hi everyone, I've tried searching everywhere, using image searches and just straight up browsing electrical parts sites, but I can't find anything!

I'm trying to recreate this badge from Ahsoka that Carson Teva and Hera Syndulla wear.
Does anyone have any ideas of what it could be made from?

Tough one… a lot of stuff is 3d printed now, could have been made by scratch

That's true, but with the amount of times they use found objects, I'm assuming it's something real

Completely agree

The more I look at it the more I think scratch made…

Been puzzling over this one since this morning. I think the red lens is a found object - it would be about 11-12mm in diameter if my measurements are accurate on this. I'd guess the rest is scratch built and printed. So... I designed and printed one really quickly.

Then I came to that I knew the shape of that red lens - I think it's the lens from an off-the-shelf LED housing. Sure enough, that housing is 12mm. The ones I have are more conical than fully rounded, but it's at least a place to start looking for the right one.

I agree on the LED lenses, that model of yours came out wicked good!

Looks like the model from a cheap door jam alarm

Quick update - I bumped the scale of my model slightly to snuggly fit the lens I have. I was eyeballing the size based on the rank badges anyways, so it's still in the right ballpark.

All-in-all I'm getting happy with the build - I'll post the file in a day or two. Just gotta "live" with the part for a bit to see if I'm happy with it.

Looking great buddy

Once more, this time with some paint and rattle can sealant on top. I think this is about ready for primetime - it passes the 6 foot test really well:

I've uploaded the file over on Printables: Printables

If anyone does end up ID'ing the lens, I'll make a redesign of this to fit the correct lens. But for now, I'm calling this one done.
