Formlabs Tiny TV

thingiverse

Long ago in a far-off suburbia, science fiction painted a vibrant picture of a future where any intrepid individual with a fishbowl and a trusty raygun could blast off into space as a bold spaceman. The heroes were true blue, the villains were thoroughly evil, and the rockets sported style that was simply out of this world. Propelled across the galaxy by an ample supply of plutonium and a never-say-die attitude, adventure knew no bounds other than the limitless possibilities of your imagination. The Tiny TV pays homage to the Philco Predicta, a most iconic, if occasionally flawed, emblem of the 1950s. Its design is heavily influenced by the remarkable concept art of Dave Schultze. At its core, the Tiny TV revolves around a high-quality 2" LCD display courtesy of our friends at Adafruit. This diminutive yet extraordinary television was meticulously printed using Formlabs' clear resin on the formidable Form 1+ printer. The front lens shines bright with a perfectly polished clarity, while the body boasts a rich texture after being carefully sanded and painted to perfection. The Tiny TV truly comes alive when paired with the most sensational blockbuster movies of the 1950s, transporting viewers back in time to an era of thrilling cinematic adventure. For Formlabs Form 1+ users, we've included a precomputed .form file complete with supportive structures to ensure a seamless printing experience. Meanwhile, those with Solidworks software at their fingertips can explore and modify the original files to create a unique Tiny TV masterpiece tailored to their individual taste.
