ELECTROBINOCULARS: STAR WARS 3D PRINT PROP BUILD

[@mattnart]

Might be fun to see you tackle some Star Trek inspired props, since they tend to go the opposite direction from Star Wars props - sleek, super clean, fewer greeblies.

There you are! Was missing you

[@KensToys74]

That's a great looking electromononocular!

[@deborahoverholt9598]

Another great build. I love that pigment dust, it adds so much to the project...and my sweet Mother in law washes her plastic forks and spoons! 😊😆

V.R. headsets for phones are pretty cheap and make a great starting platform for these. I found several at my local goodwill store for $3 a piece. They turned out great.

Thanks for the informative build video. You are taking a lot of the excuses out of prop pre-production planning and I really am glad for the resources and techniques you demonstrate;

[@RestorationAustralia]

Superior finish well done.

[@georgemartinez1720]

Great masking idea

[@georgemartinez1720]

Love your videos I always learn something and not alot talk this sction

[@georgemartinez1720]

Love the plastic knifevi idea

[@StudentTrader]

Awesome I was waiting for this video!!

[@andygorman858]

I love your style! First ever Star Wars prop I ever made was with my 3D printer, it was the Thermal Detonator used by Leia in Return of the Jedi. I still have it!

In case you do end up with any of overspray even with all the masking if you take a q-tip and a tiny amount of white spirit you can usually manage to get rid of just the overspray layer without affecting the base coat

That looks cool. And a nice size too. Not too huge like Luke’s. Great job as usual.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Super cool man! Love how they turned out!

[@createscifi]

thx brother!

Great video as always Anthony… more Star Wars please! 😁

[@seanmeadows129]

Great video Anthony, fun and educational. Just a thought but if you make another Star Wars film how about a power droid or Gonk has he now known, that would be really cool. I think the clunky look of the original films droids was so much better than the higher tech ones of the prequels. Hope this idea appeals. Thanks for a great video.

[@marvelousmaker]

When I saw the thumbnail I originally thought you kit bashed a World war 2 army surplus canteen cup

[@ClintCarneyCreates]

Hell yeah! Great vid!

[@thedarkknight803able]

Awesome prop! Just wanted to know are still going to use stuff from the Dollar store. 🤔

[@Lovidar]

Not a bad job... but this is a prop, a stage prop for a fan film. . Have you thought about creating a working sample of electrobinoculars like in Star Wars? I think that these things will be needed for this: an old vhs video camera or a mini-dvd with an ocular viewfinder, there is a very small, about 1.5 cm real kinescope! The space for the cassette and other unnecessary blocks can be removed. Any compact mirrored monocular reflector with the possibility of mechanical zooming is suitable for the lens. A compact laser rangefinder with a backlit screen, its display must be placed in the eyepiece for the second eye, so that when the observer looks through binoculars, the image from the kinescope and the rangefinder screen overlap each other. The active part of the rangefinder- the laser and the photodetector must be placed on the front edge of the device coaxially with the lens. For night vision, we will need a powerful infrared LED with a reflector and a lens for better focusing of the infrared beam. It would be possible to use a module from a passive night vision device, but it would be too expensive for the price, these are not cheap devices. We also need a powerful, capacious lithium battery of suitable capacity with a dilution board, which will allow this device to be powered with electric current. And, of course, you need a housing for this device, it is best to make it out of sheet metal in the form of two housings - internal, which binds the parts into a single structure, and external, for decorative and protective purposes. At the same time, it is not necessary to copy the appearance of existing samples of electrobinoculars from Star Wars, you can make your own original variation. The result is a device that works as a digital night vision telescope with a laser rangefinder. This is cool?

[@createscifi]

cool

[@gremlinkin]

I really need to get a 3D printer. A friend of mine is asking me for help making a plastic skull cap for a Zorg costume from fifth element. We have some sheets of plastic, and a heat gun. we are molding it to the head of a mannequin. Do you have any advice how to do it?

[@georgemartinez1720]

I seen some one use make up Eye Shadow mettilic Powder s

[@CheeseN1P42]

Make a space trucker hat
