Does anyone recognise the found item which this Voyager Lokirrim scanner is built from?
The "dial" screen part looks familiar.
This particular prop is listed in the upcoming Propstore auction and has basic dimensions indicated as in the picture in this post.

Agreed. It looks like some sort of watch bezel.

I think a watch would be too small, but I can see your line of thinking.
The dimensions in the listing and the picture above give the width as around 8cm.
I was thinking this could be a handheld game but the dial part does look like it turns which is making me also think this could be a stopwatch or maybe a compass.
I'm confident someone will get this.
 
My guess, given the 8cm diameter, is that it was a cap for something like an oil tank in a car or motorcycle.

I think you're right - and given the shape of the grips, I'd lay my money on a 1990's AdBlue diesel fuel tank cap.

Unfortunately the modern ones have 6 grips rather than the 8 pictured.
 
Just adding in that when we would get items to fabricate for Enterprise they would be quickly designed around off the shelf items with just a couple days, if not a single day, deadline for completion. I had seen stud finders and other things scaled up or down as the initial design. Its still how things are quickly done today. Where a watch bezel may match as the shape, just not the size, it would be fabricated as per the design. The Riddick breathers are a great example of a designed on an off the shelf item then fabricated from scratch.
 
Registered on this forum because I'm also looking for this but DO have the beginnings of an answer, because I actually had the base object as a kid! It's a sort of handlebar mounted SFX machine for a kid's bicycle. Originally silver and purple with the neon translucent green, it had a handful of buttons that made all kinds of cool sounds through a terrible tinny speaker. I'm positive I've got it in a box or something somewhere. If I can manage to dig it up I'll post pics for sure. I came here because I've been scouring the internet for more information on the brand/product name, but came up empty.

EDIT:
Recreated it from memory really quick in Photoshop. Still haven't found it, but I'll keep you posted.

EDIT 2:
Found more info! It's a Spoke Hedz Bike Blaster by Bell! Found it by doing an image search on my edit!
