Better Prongs for 11th Doctor Sonic Screwdriver Redrawn

thingiverse

Wasn't satisfied with the original prongs as they didn't nest into the tip and rattled in the cage. New prongs fit better and are more accurate to the real prop. Included a version with hooks to be paired with an elastic hair tie. --------------------- Using a small clear elastic hair tie, guide the elastic through the prong hooks from the inside of the silver cage with the cage and green tip removed. Use the smallest allen wrench in your tool kit to help guide the elastic between and around each prong from within the cage. The elastic may be strong enough to force the prongs open and up when screwdriver is closed. Using another clear elastic tie on the bottom of the cage, you can keep the screwdriver closed as long as you don't mind the sight of the exposed band. The prongs elastic might start to loosen after about a day and will stop forcing the prongs open. At this point you can remove the elastic from around the cage. The prongs elastic will still be strong enough to hold the prongs open when the screwdriver is extended. Note: In my experience, the silver cage with built in support is tighter on the gold cage and may prevent prongs from opening on their own.
