Miniature TARDIS

thingiverse

A custom-made mini TARDIS measuring approximately 18 inches tall features an LED-lit lamp. Compatible with 3mm materials such as wood-birch ply or white and clear acrylic sheets, this model was based on an online scale graphic. Laser cutting takes around four hours for an 80-watt laser. Photos may appear cropped or rotated due to Thingiverse's limitations. The design requires minimal glue; the base plate is assembled with two layers of slot panels, followed by side panel and shim panel insertion. Police Public Call Box labels are double-sided taped to main panels. The lamp fixture consists of four clear acrylic pieces that press together. White acrylic window panes are hot glued inside. Regal Blue Krylon spray paint is used for coloring, while a 9-volt AA battery pack powers the white LED via a toggle switch and resistor.
