Missy timelord controller

This is a replica of the iconic controller device from Dr Who. To ensure it can withstand regular handling, I took some creative liberties with the finer details. This was a special commission for a friend who's an avid cosplayer, so I deliberately designed the interior to be hollow and accommodating for LED lights and a battery pack to give it a dynamic glow. The cutout ledges and circular recess were carefully crafted to allow for the seamless integration of small hinges and a magnetic catch, effectively turning this prop into a functional clutch pocketbook. If you've ever attended a costumed convention, you know how tedious it can be to lug around a large bag all day. To prevent curling during printing, I included 0.2mm thick tabs on the parts. This design relies on flat table pieces, so fine-tuning your printer flow is crucial to achieve smooth results and prevent globbing or spider webs from marring the thin decorative flourishes. For an authentic look, I printed the top in clear ABS and the case and bottom in solid colors, allowing LEDs to shine through the "lid" to match the screen shots I had reference.
