    I didn't know I was a model designer...

    So I have been into gunCAD for a few years and 3d printing. A friend in my fraternity asked me if I could print a tractor. So I said sure and found a simple tractor online and printed it. Then they told me we'll it's really a car... I told them I needed a picture. They sent me a picture and I...

    Dr. Theopolis,- a different approach

    I have ordered the Red and Clear Acrylic from my local plastics shop. They should have my order ready when I get off of work. I still need the textured for the eyes. I think I will go to Home Hepot and grab some textured light defusing panel from the lighting dept. to laminate over clear with...

    Dr. Theopolis,- a different approach

    You rock. I will work on it more tomorrow. I think I am at a stopping point for right now until I can get to the plastics shop and touch some sheet material to see how thick or thin I need for the laser cut parts. I might start work on installing a mount and layout for the raspberryPI to...

    Dr. Theopolis,- a different approach

    I think I have the basic shapes down. I might need to work on some scaling and work on the ears/strap retainers. Then I can go to grabcad and get some CAD for some IC Chips just to mess around with printed chips vs. OE chips. Plus they will look good on the rendering of the model

    After looking at the reference images I am seeing quite a few changes I need to make. First I am going to make all the parts go in from the back the cut front lens first followed by an interior trim ring to act as a spacer between the layers of clear acrylic. I will be adding alignment pegs and...

Ian Hughes on Patreon is a gifted 3d modeler of full scale Sci-Fi robots and props, he has designed a Dr. Theopolis but it is lacking some detail.

    Dr Theopolis 1:1 scale from Buck Rogers

    OMG how perfect. I will start to incorporate this into the CAD that i have and try to make a build guide as I go. I will use AI and an Arduino to make a home assistant Dr. Theo prop. If it works I will post the arduino sketch with my final build guide and build post thread. I am using the...

    Dr Theopolis 1:1 scale from Buck Rogers

    Is there a pdf or higher res image available for Dr. Theopolis' face? The paper back drop version. I am doing a mix between 3d printing a shell and doing laser cut acrylic to make the face and some of the internals. I would like to use your paper back drop file if available. Bobby Brown
