I'm bored :) Suggest something for me to model, and watch me weep

[greenmachines]

Sensuous......Sensuous asking for projects:

 

[ssdesigner]

Nice work on the severance intercom!! Looks fantastic!

 

[scornflake]

Thanks - here's some STLs if someone wants to have a go printing. I'll do so sometime, but printer is busy 100% for the next few days...

 

[drusselmeyer]

Hey, appreciate the offer! A few things come to mind that I have wanted to get nice prints of and been unable to find:

1. Severance (TV): Conference room speaker

2. Conan the Barbarian (1982): The broken sword of Conan's father. Existing models vary in quality, don't have the break, and would be better in parts for easy painting and assembly.

Thanks for looking!
I am happy to provide more details and help with sizing research if any of these appeal to you. Please DM me!

Where can you even find those plasma discs today?

 

[Astyanax]

Where can you even find those plasma discs today?

They're on Amazon and all over Alibaba, etc. Cheaper to buy overseas. They call it a "plasma plate" now.

 

[TymanRoach]

maybe a dumb q: do we know the dimensions of the Wing-stick? I see a billion images...

annnnnd this. hmm. Seems very good!

Wingstick - Boomerangs By Vic

Inspired by the video game "Rage", this boomerang is one of several designs I sell as functional performance art. Yes, it does return but is for display purposes only. Seller is not responsible for misuse of this item. Would make a great addition to your collection. Handcrafted with 10 ply 5 mm...

Nice! Yeah, I actually own that boomerang, Its awesome! not quite accurate though, which is understandable.

Here are a couple images for size reference:

btw, that Galaxy Quest Vox looks quite doable. Maybe after the SMG, or when Im sick of modelling it. I started a new thread to track progress on the SMG over in General Modelling. It's going to take loads more time than the little Severance radio thingie did.

 

[ssdesigner]

For anyone building the Severance intercom, here's a link to the audio files:

“Severance” TV Show Speaker

Like many folks, I’ve fallen down the Severance rabbit-hole. As soon as I saw the ‘speaker’, I thought to myself, “I should make that!”. It’s a simple enough design (although it took me longer to sketch up than I care to admit) and I already had all the parts needed in the form of spares from my...

I've been working on this for a few years and haven't quite got the underside rear imagined yet so would like to see what you can do with it...

Printing today, thank you so much for sharing!!!!

Printing today, thank you so much for sharing!!!!

Startup a build thread; then I can add to it when I print mine. Also, if you see anything that needs fixing let me know. The front face is right now a push on fit with about 0.3mm clearance. Dunno if that's enough to work. Guess you can always glue it in there.

Also pondered making up the electronics. Stuff a ESP32 in there with a DFPlayer, use the audio files ssdesigner linked, and make yourself a very odd doorbell

interesting. I'm going to have my hands full with the SMG at the moment. I'll post another "Im bored" thread when done.

Specifically with this: I'm no artist. I'm pretty good (I think?) at bringing stuff to 3d land... but that side of things, I think, is best left to those (not me) that can draw a person without immediately thinking: STICK FIGURE!!!

 

[scornflake]

Oh. There's no weeping. Um. Actually, there is:

Modelling the Elysium Carlyle Droid SMG

I'm starting a design of the Elysium Carlyle Droid SMG, and thought I would post progress along the way. I'm going to go with a pic of the actual movie prop, as opposed to the original designs. The original design pics are better to model from, but they are quite different from the prop that...

spent about 6hrs today trying to figure out how to model a handle properly. failed. four attempts I think? but I believe it's called "learning" (hits head on wall). Grr. Weep.

Would love to have a miniature whack bat from Wes Anderson’s fantastic mr fox I’ve got a 3d printer but not the skills to design stuff lol
Here is a picture

In fact I would love to collect any props from this movie newspapers etc thank you for reading this
