Excellent render!
It is definitely possible as long as the glue sticks are the correct size. However, I doubt that it is accurate, since Nick Robatto usually uses a type of resin or acrylic plastic for the sonic emitters he was made in the past.Would it be possible to use the smaller hot glue sticks for the 4 acrylic emitter rods?

...but probably not ideal between the low heat resistance
For anyone who's interested, I've published my STL files, with build instructions and illustrations, on Youmagine.
https://www.youmagine.com/designs/twelfth-doctor-s-sonic-screwdriver
are the files protected - ie someone else can't download them and use them for whatever they want? I mean, obviously they can print the parts but do they have access to the digital files at all beyond that?
I suppose it's always possible for someone to import the STLs into a 3D modeler and modify them, but I'm not really worried about it (after all, I merely copied someone else's design, so I don't feel I can really lay a claim to them as my intellectual property).
Besides, I've benefited from the digital modelling community (for example, the DL-44 blaster I'm working on incorporates bits from a couple of different Mauser models that others have made available), so I feel it's only good citizenship in that community to give something back as well.
Personally, I like to build everything myself if I can.
How did you go about scaling your parts? All of the pieces are listed as being 0x0x0.
In Netfabb at least, if I scale them up by a factor of 1000 they appear to be a reasonable size (though I'm not sure what is "right" for the various parts).
Nick posted a new video on the Rubbertoe facebook which reveals that the sonic also has a green light mode!
