Very interested in getting on the list if you are still producing these. How long is the wait list these days?

It’s been awhile, but the project is not dead! Believe it or not, there has been progress! With the help and knowledge of a few others, I’ve built a prototype and designed it to be a kit. There are quite a few parts and processes involved, and the box slides and works well. At the moment, I’m...

It's been so long since I began this thread.. but things are coming together and I finally have some time for the last push. Updates very soon :)

Thanks! Yeah, veneer! I actually discovered that the thickness of the veneer was important if I want to get the thicknesses looking right without a bunch of custom planing. Here's an image of the model, sans graphics, I rendered this morning:

Finally had a little time to get back to this project. After lots of time studying reference images of this thing, I think I've managed to work out the overall dimensions. From there, I've been going back and forth between CAD and references to iron out the details, overlaying my 3D model onto...

I think this just ruined this thing for me. Dang. Time to transfer that excitement into a Nick-a-tron kit build I think!

Awesome job! This is really clean and detailed. I was searching through a video for another prop I'm working on, and Doug Harlocker talks about breaking out the vent /cooling details along the barrel of this blaster into individual little pieces to give it a little more of that special...

Found another reference!I I noticed the box shows up in the background of the Tested video with Adam Savage and Doug Harlocker. Around the 16:30 mark. They never talk about the box, but at least it's sitting there next to some other objects for reference, and we get a better idea what it...

Definitely in! Though I'm also toying with putting one of these together. The question of whether or not to use real wood is a tough one. It would be kind of cool given that wood is a fairly prized commodity in the BR2049 world, and Wallace can obviously afford to keep his implants in a wooden...

I was wondering. Thanks for the tip! The lack of joints made me wonder if it was machined out of a huge block, or like you said, just a veneer. There would be something nice about making it out of wood, especially considering how rare it is in the world of the film.

I've been looking for a small-scale project in my wheelhouse, and thought the box of wetware neck implants that Luv opens during the film would be an excellent little piece. A good mix of 3d printing, woodworking, and graphics! Plus, it's small and gorgeous. Does anyone know if any reference...

There was an IMAX event recently that had the spinner on display. I'm sure there are better pictures of it around - from a friend's facebook post:

I wonder if the some of the design/proportion changes to the Rogue One helmets have anything to do with fit and comfort. I noticed in the announcement video that the presenters just pop the helmets on straight, and don't have to do that little sideways twist I often see with other ST helmets...

Have you considered just printing the circle and the U, and then using a real screw to join them? You may need to design a negative buck or something to hold the floating U in the right location while you're drilling + attaching everything.

Just like on the Han Solo TFA poster!
