Jd Spock

User-inserted image

The first video of my JD Spock testing his 3d printed phaser.

JD Spock's 3D printed Star Trek Original Series phaser, sized for JD: EZ_OST_phaser.stl

I tried to color match to screen shots from the Original series. The retail toy versions are much brighter colors.

JD Spock's paper head piece with hair, eyebrows, and Vulcan ears and Star Trek badge, I used card stock to print it on and double sided tape to attach the pieces. This is my template: SpockJD.pdf

*Edit: Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you @Mickey666Maus and @AndyRoid!

Thank you @Sebediah, and it was paper templates I created. I added .pdf of my template to my first post for the head piece and badges incase anyone else wants to make a JD Spock the same way. I also added the .stl for the phaser since it is sized for JD. I just got it from Thingiverse, all I did was adjust the size to look right in JD's claw. You can't tell in the video, but I detailed the heck out of his phaser when I painted it, I wanted to attempt a mini prop accurate version.

Thank you @Jeremie! Your thread on the BotMatrix Channel helped inspire me to create and contribute more in way of videos.

And seeing videos from SteveS and Patrick has also inspired me a lot as well.

I have plans for a series of videos related to "Spock's Brain" to show of some things I'm doing with brain building that I hope will inspire others.

Nice video visual effects...

You should try to create a JD Spock gun with a red laser, and program the Spock to start pointing the laser when a cat or dog are near.

@All Happy Thanksgiving !

Very cool Justin! Wouldn't mind seeing a close up picture or two of that phaser in detail then:) Looking forward to more videos from you, I'm just getting started myself but I'm planning to upload videos quite frequently as well.

Thank you @NEWAGETOMY! I don't think so for the uniform. I had tried a few uniform ideas including a Star Trek baby romper with the bottom cut off but all the ideas were too restrictive or I just didn't like the look.

@Sebediah I added a picture to my first post of the phaser. I dislike painting tiny things, it's frustrating because my fat fingers don't do well trying to do detail work, but I was happy how it turned out.

I'm debating about printing him a tricorder or not. My issue is I don't like the original series tricorder (especially for JD's scale) because it would just look like a box. But I could make cool newer version and maybe even put some LEDs in there or a real senor that plugs into him.

Nice work on the details on the phaser Justin! I know what you mean about painting tiny things being frustrating, my hands can get a bit shaky when I attempt stuff like that.

A tricorder with some actual sensors inside would be really neat! Imagine having one that checks temperature, maybe distance, and then have a camera in there doing object recognition, haha.
