Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver

thingiverse

Hi all,\nI've created a replica of the Sonic Screwdriver, and I'm thrilled to say it almost works. Check out the Sonic Screwdriver demo video below. The original was used by David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor Who in the series from 2005 until 2010. \nThe detailed instructions on what's needed, how to print, and how to assemble are included in the PDF manual (see zip file). I had to improvise since I didn't have silver-colored filament or transparent blue, so it's explained in the instruction. You can avoid painting and fiddling by just ordering the right colored PLA instead. The flashing LEDs were created using a bicycle light. Here's a picture of the version I used. Depending on your version, you might need either the 2-battery pack or the 4-battery pack.\nThe box was printed using ColorFabb Woodfill. Two versions are uploaded. I used the 2mm version with a paperclip for the hinges. You can also use the three mm version along with a piece of filament to create the hinge.\nHave fun!\nMarco\nhttps://youtu.be/tUQPu0L8qVs\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand: \n Ultimaker\n \n Printer: \n Ultimaker Original\n \n Rafts: \n Doesn't Matter\n \n Supports: \n No\n \n Notes: \n See the detailed instruction in the PDF.\nBOM:\nfilament: transparent (e.g. ColorFabb Clear XT), blue, white and black, woodfill\nSuper Glue\nBicycle LED Light (blinking LED)\nSwitch (push button)\nElectrical Wire\nHeat Shrink Tube\nFour LR44 Batteries\nPaper Clip\nUsed Print Settings (depends on filament type used and printer):\nNozzle Temperature: 190°C (for the ColorFabb Clear XT I used 250°C).\nNozzle Size: 0.4, except for Woodfill where I used 0.8\nSpeed: 100 mm/s\nBed Temperature: 60°C\nI used a brim, but it also prints without\nTools:\n3D Printer\nSolder Station\nSilver Paint (in case of using white filament).\nSanding Paper
