Very impressive. Excellent work there :thumbsup

 

[Mr Webber]

That looks amazing. Great job, I am very jealous.

Nice as hell. Where can one buy such a kit? To print all those parts online would cost a small fortune.

 

[Empiricus]

Thanks for the kind words. Local Maker spaces maybe a good place to get this done cheaper if you don't have a printer.All the files are shared on instructables. It is about $30 in PETG and Ninjaflex filaments to print the parts and time of course (36-48 hours print time). I wouldn't have the time or resources to do kits but someone may.

Great optical viewer Empiricus...the paint job and the weathering of that prop is top-notch but for one thing: the paper you've put around the main lens (front, right hand side) is too clean compared to the rest of the viewer

I’m working on one myself. It’s been fun so far. I hope mine turns out as good as yours did. Good job!

Yup it also needs finer subdivisons. I will update this but need to find a way to weather this convincingly as the print paper and varnish take on too much paint. Also recently got a better front image here on rfp, so I am fixing a few things on the front part.

Very cool! Best optical prop since Luke’s macrobinoculars...

Thanks so much. I 'll obsess about it some more. These projects are never done.

 

[Empiricus]

Updated the decals and posted new images. Thanks everyone for the feed back

 

[joberg]

Way much better now:cool

 

[Empiricus]

Absolutely. First prop replica for me so feed back is much appreciated.

Question for you Empiricus , in your model the two black left side buttons are too small to press fit onto the round nubs built into the casing; is the intent to grind these nubs off first before installing the buttons?

Thanks,

 

[EasternBloc]

Wow, way to knock it out of the park! I probably couldn't tell in person which is screen used and which is your creation.

 

[Empiricus]

Let me check the button model stl I up loaded. They are tight fit but I had to glue in place to prevent them from slipping off.

 

[Kokanee]

Thanks, I'm printing on an Ultimaker 3 in PLA and so far everything else fits together perfectly, but the buttons are just way off.

It's button2.stl right?

 

[Empiricus]

Yes, but to be sure I uploaded Button 3.stl. The inner diameter is 11mm, You may have to sand a little if it doesn't fit.

thanks! super appreciate the support

half my parts are at home, half at work so i'll update tomorrow when I have a chance to compare them.
