Hi Craig.· 3 replies
I've just bought a 2nd movie dalek (originally from This Planet Earth) and looking to make many improvements.
The eye stalk is impossibly heavy, being made from solid aluminium rods with aluminium disks and an eye ball that appears to be cast resin(!)
It all has to be a lot lighter as I want to remote control the eye and dome and install a blue LED etc.
I have someone who will 3D print the eyeball and I think I can source the aluminium tubing etc but Im stuck with the disks.
Can you supply me with a set of perspex disks please?
Im in Jersey (postage should be the same as UK) so please let me know if you can send some over and the cost?
Mod edit: email/phone removed.
Cheers
Mike

Another quick update: Continuing my Dalek construction, I deliberated on the best way to slice the inside neck bin and print it on my TronXY VEHO 1000-16. I used the Elegoo Neptune 3 Max to run off a couple of the eye-stalk disks, and used the Saturn 4 to make the light covers and bases for the dome. -

Hey I’m new here and I want to build the 2010 new dalek and I was wondering how did you all make the shoulders? Other parts are much more easier than the shoulders. If you could tell me how did you make the shoulders I would be so grateful! -

And just to round off that update, here’s the shoulders all glued up and together as one piece for the first time. In their current form they weigh ~5.3kg and feel immensely solid, no flex at all. I still need to trim the wooden bits smooth. Today I also finished up with the dome touch ups, so it’ll be filler primer and sanding from now on. I’m in no rush to grey prime it as painting is a long way off and a lot of mechanisms still need to be put in. On the subject of mechanisms, I just wanted to bounce ideas off you good people. I have 2 designs for attaching slats, one with screws/bolts from the inside with threaded inserts (the shoulders only have holes for the top) and one with super strong magnets. Maybe cut a hole in the second skin to allow me to glue a magnet, hidden, for the bottom attachment. Not sure, drop your thoughts below. Also, for my plunger arm, I’m considering making it from PVC pipe as well, as I want all my “metal” parts (gun arm, plunger arm, eyestalk) to look the same so ideally will use the same painting process. I’d cover the bushes in something soft like sponge and silk, and add a strong lacquer to avoid paint scraping during operation. Interested fo hear your thoughts. happy exterminating! -
