Hi all, I am a new member of therpf. I have recently begun designing and building a David Tennant sonic screwdriver. this thread will serve as both a build log and a platform to see what others think. I have always wanted to build a fully accurate metal version of this sonic screwdriver, and I am excited to see how it will turn out.
To start, I designed the screwdriver using Fusion 360, and 3D printed the parts to see how well they would fit. A few iterations later, I used 3D hubs to machine some of the parts as a test to see whether 3D hubs was a good choice to get my screwdriver machined. Currently I have only had machined the head, neck and column. Now that I am happy with how they turned out, I will be ordering the rest of the parts too.
Feel free to let me know what you think, suggestions on how it could be improved would also be great! I may put the designs for the screwdriver online if I decide I am comfortable doing so.
Here is an image of the pieces I currently have.
