A few weeks ago I ordered a type 2 3D printed phaser on eBay made by Cyberia Online Systems in Canada, and when I got it I was stunned. Almost every single line & measurement was spot on! Only the P1 needs some 1mm slimming towards the rear from a top view. Okay, and yeah, some unavoidable print lines, and the silver parts aren't real metal, but for the price it's frankly amazing IMO. But then I saw... possibilities.... I contacted the owner & asked if I could buy one un-assembled, and he said no problem. I then ordered a full spread of metal parts and when the Cyberia parts get here I will get to sanding, priming & painting the body and fitting the new metal parts.
My last 'last' type 2 hero phaser was based on the Diamond Select body, and I did not correct some of the issues there due to some foolish assumptions on my part- this one will be as accurate as it gets (crossing fingers).
I already prepped some of the metal parts, rounding the rear fins, sanding down the side turn to look more accurate. Haven't done the final buff on those yet.
This will be my 6th phaser (third I've made myself); time to construct a Galileo storage locker!
