This meticulously crafted Dalek model was conceived and built over my year-end break from school by means of intense teaching myself Solidworks techniques. Taking inspiration from Audrey2's flawless Accurate Dalek model, I painstakingly redraw every component by hand utilizing it alongside images and reclaimed components of my prior Dalek models. The purpose was to design an authentic and intricate Dalek figure that could be easily printed, assembled, and comprised exclusively of 3D printed elements. While this iteration may not surpass Audrey2's model in accuracy, its reduced scale renders the distinction imperceptible. Its composition entirely comprises 3D printed parts except for a singular piece of 1.75mm filament serving as the eyestalk hinge, necessitating minor application of glue for assembly. Most components friction-fit seamlessly into place. Printing Instructions Print two copies of the bumper and core, two pieces of the armball, one eye and plunger component in black. For the bumper, you can use either silver or brown since the prop colours used on screen vary inconsistently. Next print the shoulder, dome and skirt piece all using brown, however feel free to pick your preferred base color if you like. Due to support needs be cautious when printing the shoulder part while it may need support during this phase, dome does also may as well. For the eyestalk, gun parts including the two halves of each ring (of which there are three total) in silver colour print these last three. Note that the shouldermust printed using support to maintain structure or at least most likely, since you don't see too many examples with just dome parts requiring printing aids however may as well. In case you decide to opt for printing this, remember that each of those 18 distinct pieces from the slat print is unique and every one has its own corresponding place within shoulder. It seems ideal to proceed by removing all your prints including individual pieces, start at the bottom, working up and reassembling, however this way will help in order not to lose anything as we know how often it does happen. Additionally print out another dome pin piece of 1.75mm diameter that can be utilized for other functions which ever suits you. Lastly don't forget about bump ring part. To install bump pieces just attach these 2 rings into bumps on bottom, this goes by easily no adhesive needed to fix these together or vice versa with using an adhesives as we prefer friction based attachments here.
