As seen mainly in Star Trek Deep Space Nine series, this Phaser Rifle kit can be printed using different colour filament for different colours of the kit, or painted. I have modelled in a 0.2mm tolerance on all parts, though in test printing some sanding and filing was necessary to get all pieces to fit together.
The flashlight on top can be replaced with a straight combat rail as pictured. Both the base of the flashlight housing and the combat rail have provisions for 2 countersunk screws which can attach to their position using 2 rare earth magnets.
This has been designed with provision for wiring, LED Lighting and (for those with the programming skills) you could even program a small circuit for sound/animation of lights etc. You could also print it as a fully static prop.
Other parts required:
12 x small screws
2 x 10mmX2mm rare earth magnet discs
1 x rocker switch for the flashlight
1 x intermittent switch for the trigger
1 x high intensity white LED for the flashlight (and suitable Resistor for 9V power supply)
1 x high intensity coloured LED for the emitter (and suitable Resistor for 9V power supply) (I am using Yellow)
2 x 9V Battery snaps and batteries (or equivalent) (you could also use less power to suit your LED)
Wire
1 x 480mm long length of 18mm PVC Pipe (as pictured)
Paints
Glue
Bog (or other plastic putty for joining the back piece if you have to print in 2 parts)
I will add more photos as I paint and assemble my printout, but the dry assembly has come together well.
A lot of hours have gone into making this as accurately as I can from images online and from watching DS9, so please comment, show some love and buy me a coffee or 2 (contribute) and if you do print, please post some photos.
