18 Sonic Wand 2: The FDM Redux

Take note:
You can get all of the guidelines and information over at my instructable which I have revealed on this pretty detail:
www.instructables.com/id/Sonic-Screwdriver-Wand-2-the-FDM…

Background:
‘Twas the calendar year 2014 when a good friend of mine requested me to make her one thing identical to the Sonic Screwdriver Wand manufactured by professional wandmaker Maranda Li aka Praeclarus Wands. The result of that inquiry was my have choose on this, which I have documented in its own instructable (www.instructables.com/id/Sonic-Screwdriver-Wand-Doctor-Wh…). I even built a pleasant Tardis / Ollivander hybrid box for it to be retained in and all over again, made an instructable for that (www.instructables.com/id/TARDIS-inspired-Equipped-Wand-Box/). Likely even more out of my way I developed a substantial, A1 blueprint-like poster for the wand which you can get for totally free and print for non-professional purposes if you experience like it (www.flickr.com/photographs/cabbitcastle/14480701121/in/album-7…, or on instructables). Print it, slap it onto your wall, make your own T-Shirt with it, as lengthy as you will not make any income off it and perhaps, just maybe mail me a image of it I am cool with it.

It was intended to be a one particular-off job, however time and time again I experienced been questioned if there was a chance to make another one particular. It appears accessibility to woodworking lathes is relatively constrained, which in hindsight ought to appear as no shock. I suggest if you do not have a lathe yourself, how do you even come across another person who does? Furthermore, making use of 1 isn’t really that easy both. Until finally not too long ago a single established lass managed to bribe, I indicate convince me to convey this challenge again to daily life. The catch this time is now that I have my extremely very own 3D printer I’ll be permitted to make the whole thing 3D printable, even though blended media or full wood reconstruction is, of system, continue to doable for anyone who needs to do so. I assume that accessibility to 3D printers or 3D printing solutions should to be considerably much better than the woodworking lathe source, so I may in fact lay this to rest for good this time.

Task Design and style:
Normally speaking, when recreating a prop or using it as an inspiration, having as considerably higher-quality reference product on it as probable is a large assist. As I am largely copying myself / the former iteration of this project and as I am a information hoarder I even now have all the needed material safely stored on a really hard push. In addition I have procured some relatively good pics from a manufacturing-used Sonic Screwdriver from Health care provider Who episode “The Working day of the Doctor” many thanks to a tbt Props sale as nicely as from a higher-quality duplicate by The Celestial Toystore.

Now it was by no means the intention to make a best duplicate, so my style and design is however not that accurate in respect to the original prop. I in fact know for a point that there are problems. It is, nonetheless, additional thorough than my past variation with most variations becoming in the details. The basic style and design can be found in the sketches I have connected as a PDF here.

I have taken techniques to have the wand and grip element seperate (as was accomplished previously) and joined by an 220mm prolonged, 8mm diameter steel rod to give a bigger pounds to the Sonic Wand, generating it truly feel greater-class than it actually is. As I realise not anyone will want to go down that route I have taken the liberty to structure a few distinct versions for several types of printing / producing / becoming a member of. You can locate them likely over the instructable url at the top.
