Skywalker Compass from TLJ

[OBI WAN KEN0B1]

So after a ton of thought and a lot of planning. Me and a few friends have started working on the Skywalker compass from TLJ. We still have a ways to go but due to the hard work of my friends we have some progress to show off. Now nothing has been printed yet but it's getting real close. A few sections are done and a few more are close.

I got the outside started and the center ring (the one that will attach to a bearing)almost complete. The bottom is proving to be a pain in the ass but these other two rings are just about done. I just need to add a little more detail. We are still looking for the right marble to go on the inside and i have to model what holds it in place. all in all we have a good start. Let us know what you think.
The lid is a WIP as well

Following, as I will need one of these if at all possible. Seriously.

You should do a run of these if the prototype turns out successful!

OBI WAN KEN0B1 I did some work on the lid last year as a 3D render project, and can share some vectors or an .obj if you're interested.

Not that I would condone supporting TFF but they have a metal / pewter version that looks to be sold out.

Not sure how accurate the one on TFF really is (would be great to get your thoughts) but a full machined version would be awesome.

As far as I understand that project was an utter failure, designs were lacking in a HUGE AMOUNT of detail and accuracy.
Lots of money was lost.

Looks great so far. I’ve wanted one of these since I first saw it.

Two of us actually own one of the cast pewter compasses from TFF, originally we wanted to offer an upgrade kit for that compass, but it happens to be incredibly inaccurate and lacks in a lot of the detail from the original prop, so we thought making a whole new compass from scratch was just a much better idea.
