The top is a Trailer for the new movie.
And I went ahead and worked up a preliminary STL file for the Dial. To be continued when new pictures and angles become available.
(I could have done more, but this is a good start)

Figure I might as well post the current imagery for baseline reference:

Just made me think of Uncharted:

 

[Jintosh]

Anything of this type has a basic history as being a derivative of the Antikythera Mechanism. (you can Google it, of course)
2000 years old and was not fully understood until modern times. Thought for some time to be impossible for it's time due to the complexity.

Speaking of the Antikythera Mechanism, I highly recommend watching the Clickspring videos on recreating it using period appropriate tools:

I'm cautiously optimistic for a fun movie, I at least like the cast.

I really want a working replica of one of these "clocks" now!

You really want to travel in time? Yep, stand in line for that one.

Or the original, Antikythera Mechanism? Even that one would be cool.

Haha both!

I love Clickspring, love his channel.

Where do you plan on posting the model at I would love to get a copy of your STL to make a prop for my collection.

 

[CloakingArbiter]

Can't wait to see the finished product

Yep. I'm going to update my file now that better pictures are available.

 

[Jintosh]

Yep. The final Dial of Destiny STL will go in my free STL thread.

 

[CloakingArbiter]

Yep. The final Dial of Destiny STL will go in my free STL thread.

I definitely can't wait to print it up and add it to my collection that I have growing right now

Would love to see an update on how your dial of destiny is coming along, here is a update on my collection so far. There are 4, 3 of them are in the mail on the way, the last one is being created now by an artist I know as we speak.

How extremely cool - count me in as interested in participating on your Dial of Destiny build. I've been stocking up on antique-gold look filaments for just this purpose.

It will have a place of honor in my basement Indy / themed bar.

I'm reasonably new to modeling but mentally scrappy with a challenge so if you need a hand ping me and I'll give it the ol' Ravenwood try.

INTERESTED!!

So, these both appear in the trailer. The one on the right has a section of video that shows multiple moving parts. But, is it THE dial? Why show the one on the left in the trailer? Is it a prototype? A PIECE of the final dial? The one hand on the left picture looks like one of the hands on the right picture.

I think the right hand one is the correct one, and it'll take some figuring to make the moving parts. But, making it functional is one goal.

 

[Lindelof1]

I NEED IT LOL

 

[Jintosh]

After careful examination, the PIECE on the left lines up with the final object on the right. Meaning, they're using a "Triangle-of-light" concept. The dial is broken into 2 or 3 pieces that must be found and assembled before being able to use it. Nice plot device, even if not especially original.
