Star Trek TNG 'Dustbuster' Phaser Kit

thingiverse

Very happy to share my version of the famous ‘dustbuster’ style phaser as seen in the first seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The body and emitter insert need supports but the rest should be good without. If you want to print the emitter in red and paint it where needed, there is a version of the emitter called 'emitter complete'. The version called 'emitter' is the original version before I separated the blocks. Just some extra options. Update 1/29/21 - Just finished printing and assembling this and it worked well for the most part. There are a lot of tight parts that basically stay in without glue, and those might need scaling down a degree or two for some people. The inner emitter (blue part) was the tightest but I was able to just barely push it in. Also added the emitter with the red blocks cutout which I printed standing up with a brim. The emitter for it (called 'emitter split') will need supports for the cutout overhangs. The blocks are a very tight fit but worked for me anyway. Also added the completed emitter assembly for those who want to do it all in one material then paint. Let me know if anyone is interested in a hollowed out version for electronics. Update 1/30/21 Added the stand. 2/4/21 just realized the 3 indented rings above the emitter blocks are also supposed to be red. You can probably use color swap there to get the correct results, and I will work on adding a split version for convenience.
