A couple of ways you could go about it. If the music is also present in other channels, you could use DAW software to remove the audio: Reverse the polarity of the soundtrack channels. (Not a Star Trek technobabble joke, I swear!) If the dialogue/SFX is on a mono track, then either mix down...

I used a football mesh knit for the main fabric, and a micro mesh for the piping. (Note that stylishfabrics seems to be out of the blue and orange football mesh at the moment, but they've still got science/medical green and security red.) I used a scuba knit for the arms and sides, but I...

1. It's a plain black V-neck t-shirt, but the collar has been covered with a micromesh in the division color (I used this one for Command blue). 2. I haven't looked for any being sold, but if you have access to a 3D printer (your own, a friend's, public library, Makerspace, etc.) or use a 3D...

My biggest beef with it is the blue and grey fabrics, which are fairly plain compared to the ones used on the show. (But I guess you're going to have that when the costume designer has the fabric custom-made, and it's undoubtedly not cost-effective to try to clone custom fabrics for relatively...

The files for all the pieces are available for free on my Thingiverse page. If you have a 3D printer, or access to one (library, school, Makerspace, a friend with one, etc.), you can print your own; or there are paid services like Shapeways that will print them for you.

Re: Comscanner from "The Orville" Like I said, I just got it in a bag of assorted springs. Googling for the dimensions, I do find some on eBay (some are longer than 12mm, so you could cut them down). Or you could visit a hardware store and see if they have anything reasonably...

Thanks! Velcro sew-on tape. (Hook side is epoxied to the 3D-printed piece, loop side is sewn to the uniform.)

Don't really have an exact source; I picked up a bag of assorted springs and a bag of assorted resistors (1/4 watt) in person from a Scientific American store. If you order from the website, instead of picking one up from a local store, you can reduce the quantity to 1, and it's accepted into...

The summary on the Thingiverse page has a full list of non-printed parts. And since this is the first time I've seen a notification on this post for a while: Cura. Ooh, nice!

My wife wanted an Ancient Egyptian style lightsaber. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Hilt modeled in Blender and 3D printed with an Ultimaker 2+; Neopixel blade, blade plug, and main button; DIYino Stardust V3 soundcard. I put up an Imgur album of build pics here, if anyone's...

Just for grins, here's a paper model version that I exported from Blender. ("It's just gluing paper," I said. "How hard can it be?" I said. "Arrrrgh," I said.) Anyway, the model (PDF, 2 pages) is here. Cut solid lines; Valley-fold dash-dot lines; Mountain-fold dashed lines. Suggested...

The model is now available on Thingiverse.

Thanks! Yes, I've got the files uploaded to Thingiverse, but I'm still in the process of writing up the build instructions before publishing them.

Same episode, but this was the one I used for scale: Nice! I'm well familiar with the phenomenon...

It does. It's just that the four LEDs in the corner of the main screen pointing in towards the center aren't as blatantly obvious when looking at it head-on as the two LEDs in the carriage which holds (and lights) the popup screen. I might back the main screen with foil to block those two...
