Revised Parts for Nonnef's TARDIS Transformer (at 75% Scale)

thingiverse

I rebuilt Nonnef's TARDIS Transformer twice, making significant changes the second time around. Be warned: I printed it at 75% scale and designed my revised parts accordingly! If you're planning to print the TARDIS at full size, be sure to scale up your designs as well! The new inner back brace has added bulk that fills in the loose connection between the sliding upper hips. This modification should improve the overall stability of the Transformer. I also made changes to the chest pieces and torso back to accommodate the transformation. I had to carefully remove over a millimeter of plastic from the original design using a Dremel tool before the panel would sit flush in TARDIS mode. You may still need to file down a bit to get it just right! The original windows don't hold up well when scaled down, so I rebuilt them with thicker panes. I also created an alternate head for Vector Prime in Blender and then touched it up in TinkerCAD. The screw holes were cut out of the original Soundwave head. In addition to the main figure, there's a Sonic Screwdriver that slots into the hand. The top extends and is held in place by friction. There's also a Sonic Screwdriver Cannon and Missile available. At larger scales, it could use some additional detailing, but I'm not going to make any further changes. A "Doctor gun" just doesn't feel right, and I'm not fond of how it looks with a shoulder cannon, so I'm leaving it as-is. The Sonic Devices were roughly based on my 10th Doctor's sonic screwdriver pen.
