I have this awesome 3-axis mill, tons of supplies, and yet I feel completely uninspired to sit down and make something.
Grr. |

I need a correctly proportioned metal Phaser I from TOS.
Can get you blueprints.

That would be nice!
I could also use a new Luke ROTJ Lightsaber as I sold my MR one... |

Well, here's my max work area on the machine: 6 inches x 4 inches x 2 3/8 inches. So unless the object can be broken down into parts that size, milling would be extremely difficult, if not impossible.
Amish -- I can't lathe on this mill, so I can't make a saber.
Here are some pics of things I've made with it -- I have yet to machine metal with it as it REALLY wears the bits and the motor of the machine:

Sorry it took me so long to get back I am simply amazed at what you can do.
What type of a machine is it? Is there a website?
I wish I could think of something cool, but I am at a loss of ideas! |

What are your plans for Serenity, Tif? I am, to say the least, intrigued. _________________ Pete |

Well...the model was a free 3D one that was floating around the Internets and I wanted to test the process of converting 3D imagery to a toolpath.
And that's about as far as it went

Ahh, I have seen others use that machine as well. Very nice!!
I understand that restrictions on the device, but I was curious if it could create replicas such as the Golden Gun?
I know others out there have created this prop, but I am curious if your machine can create things such as this. |

Hmm....do you have blueprints? I think it would be completely doable -- with the exception of the barrel. |

No i dont Could the barrel not be done because of it's shape or because it's hollow?
Just curious.. I will look around for prints or specs or something. |

I think the shape is the killer on the barrel, Tom. You'd probably need a lathe for that part, though the rest looks do-able. Maybe another member with a lathe could chime in and offer his/her skills for that part. I know that I'd definitely be interested in one of these. _________________ Pete |

Thanks Pete! I kow SD Studios held the license for a while, but I am unsure if anyone else holds it currently.
I have been searching for prints and such, but I have not come up with anything. Otherwise, it will remain in my want list for props if it ever pops up
What do you think of doing the Phaser I like the other Tom suggested? |

The discussion of Adama's lighter has been split off from here, leaving Tiffany's original thread for it's intended purpose.
We now return you to your requested inspirational thread. _________________ Pete |

Do you have better pics / dimensions? I can definitely at least start the CADD work on it! |
