Twelfth Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver

My Daughter is a huge fan of Dr. Who, she loves this sonic..... I only started this print yesterday, so it will be a few more before the LED module arrives for installation. I used: Giantarm Silk PLA - Silver BL Basic PLA - Blue BL Translu PETG - Brown BL Translu PETG - Clear Elegoo PLA+ - Black The only issue I had, was with the part named "Corp métal - pièce 5" in the 3mf. The first copy I printed broke at 4 delicate spots that connect to the top portion...... I was able to glue that back on and it's not too noticable. Then during assembly, I broke the thing in 2 more places... 'SMH' I was able to glue those up as well though.... I figured my settings were off so I attempted to print a second one, which I tossed out once it broke it the same spots. I had already glued the first one up just fine so no need to go through it again..... While not really necessary, I am going to be tinkering with my print settings to see if I can't get a stonger copy of that specific piece, as well as some slight changes to the support settings to help with removal. Fun project overall, I apprectiate your efforts on this. Kudo's & Boosts to you my friend. (The second image is just for reference. It's the part that I got clumsy with.)

Lovely print with very clear instructions, however I am confused about the ring light.. I can't get it to to work.. I've attached some pictures.. put simply, the magnet has to hit or get near the led to make it light up.. I put it in the correct place so that the chip and the light is facing "up", towards the end of the screwdriver (pointing at the translucent part). But with the screws in it, the switch won't go all the way up, meaning you can't get the magnet to reach the LED unit.. also, the translucent part takes up the space where the LED goes, meaning it won't fit. unless the LED part should be glued to the ring around it, in which case you get a chunk of translucent sticking out, which means it won't look like your GIF in the description, where the translucent part is totally inside the housing... I hope that makes sense, any help would be appreciated!

This was such an easy print. every thing fits super wel together

Gorgeous! I will be able to offer it to a fan of the twelfth doctor, he will love it! Not having the right colors I used: * Dark blue from Bambulab * Silk gold from Overture * Dual color silk from Flashforge * Phosphorescent from Anycubic (glows in the dark) Assembly is not easy. I had to re-print the large bottom piece because I broke it while removing supports. The second one also broke despite 100% infill, I think it's due to the difficult-to-remove supports. So I glued it back together with superglue. Assembling steps 16 and 17 is difficult and I broke a few pins (also glued back with superglue). Finally, I had to use a hammer to force the pieces from steps 16 and 17 to fit together, even trim a little to make them fit (Bambulab P1S used, 0.4 nozzle). I can't wait to receive the light ring for the final result! Thank you for this creation which was a pleasure to assemble!

4.5/5 near perfect but plates 2 and 5 are difficult. broke many pieces during assembly but eventually got it.

finally done! don’t have the right blue, so I printed it in navy blue, and didn’t have petg transparent, so it doesn’t glow as much. it took a lot of tweeking, involving placing the magnet on a round support, and completely mutilating one piece just to fit in! plus the light was much more expensive then I thought. still worth it though, I will give this to my friend for a present!

amazing! I printed it for my friend, still haven’t given it to him yet though. printed great! I’m going to paint the blue a lighter shade

Appreciate how intricate the model is. But kind of fragile. One The top beige part that has the big screw broke while screwing in, so I reprinted the part with 100% infill. The small hinges were really brittle and couldn't install them but it's still pretty like this. Overall I love it and cant stop holding and playing with it.

first off, this is an amazing model! it looks so good! It fit together great as well. The only problems I ran into stem from the print profile in regards to strength. I had to make some tweaks so that it didn’t break as I started assembling it. The long parts on plates 2 and 5 I had to print several times because the screw part came off the body, once I took the infill up to about 50-60% it stopped breaking. Thank you for making this model!
