My Star Trek Enterprise Phase Pistol

[brisco1967]

Not altogether displeased. This is my first attempt. My issue is the break point. I have tried Velcro to secure it, however nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

That looks like a toy that you repainted? With brush on paints?

Here's my 3D printed version. Try using rattlecan or airbrush paints instead to get a smoother finish. Also your colours are a bit off.

Yes, it is the diamond select toy, poor quality but my first.

 

[Kokanee]

Yep, it's all about getting started. We all start somewhere.

It's all practice, and it's a good first attempt!

Kokanee, where did you get the 3D Files for yours? I have one of the diamond select TOS phasers, and I kind of want to do a phase pistol and a Disco phaser to have a set

Hi there !
I've made one for a friend some months ago. I redesigned it from scratch after pictures from the original props, printed and painted at home.
(I'm a bad painter, sorry... still learning) :

If you are interested, the 3d files and assembly documentation is available at My Etsy Shop Here !
I made it hollow so you can put electronic inside. (I have to learn this skill too !!)

nice design/print!

If you want the correct screw to finish it instead of the slotted screw you have there, go to accu.co.uk and search for a m4 x 20mm snake eye security screw.

Buy Security 2Hole / Snake Eye Countersunk Screws - Accu

Security 2Hole (also called Snake Eye) Countersunk Screws are fitted with a tamper-proof 2hole drive, which can only be adjusted using a 2Hole Drive Bit.

Do you still have a copy of the stl's? The originals are gone.

Sorry, the author pulled all of their stuff off thingiverse in early 2020.

That's a shame, tough model to find a decent free version of.

 

[Kokanee]

Yeah, specifically because of this model I've started saving anything good i find onto my own personal google drive, sadly i didn't do that with this one. Grimm's model was inaccurate in that it only had three "vents" on top so not too big a loss though.

 

[Jlewis]

People were downloading Grimm's files off Thingiverse and then selling 3D prints of them on Etsy. He did some great design work and I feel fortunate to have been able to download a couple for my personal use. He has a store on Etsy where he sells finished 3D prints.

 

[RunLoganRun]

That makes sense, it always makes me a little but angry when I see people profiting off someones hard work, especially when they're made to be free. I've decided to try making my own, learning is hard.

Hi there.
I've been looking over the RPF [and www] for instructions on how to assemble the parts for my 3D printed "Star Trek Enterprise Phase Pistol". A friend printed it for me some years back and I saved the parts for a future build. Well now is my future. But I don't have any info on putting it together. I've downloaded LOTS of images but it has 18 parts and I'm not sure about it.

Looking over the RPF I found this post and was wondering if anyone has any "assembly instructions" for the thing.
Having read Buissonland's post above I can tell you --it is not hollow-- and the print has 3 vents on top if that helps.

FYI I found the security screws in Texas, 68 cents each -- $10.00 shipping!!!!!!!!!! So I'm looking for those at a reasonable price too please.

Many thanks in advance.
