Very kool, thanks for letting me know. I shared your blog on my page as well. Nice work on the base :)

Very nice job, thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much :D

I'm not sure it would work. The way I'd look at things, the print head has 0 force applied to it (aside from gravity) so it is not used to feedback. Leather engraving I believe is usually done by force. I've seen laser engravers attached to the XY axis of a printer to be used that way, but it's not receiving any force.I just don't think the stepper motor on the Z-axis of a 3D printer could provide and handle enough force to actually engrave the surface without damaging it. I may be wrong, but this is my opinion on the idea. It's neat, but I think a laser engraver would be better.

Lol :)

Normally I would agree with you, BUT....... The rose is encased in the glass, this really diminishes the effect of air, dust and such. And as long as it's not in direct sunlight it will last longer. I'm fairly certain it will outlive me. Thank you for the compliment. :)

Thank you. Hmm, a small version would be tougher to work with, I'd probably have to make the rose myself.

Thank you, very glad you like it :)

It's definitely an idea :)

Thank you. It might look a bit more realistic, but the rose from the animated film almost always is pink when it's glowing, like this picture.

Thank you very much. Please do, I'd love to see how it turns out. :)

This is very impressive, great job :) I think I'm going to have to make one.

Thank you very much.It most definetely is in the makerspace contest. However the prizing for that contest is only based on featured instructables, so I'm not sure what effect voting has there. But I welcome all votes :)

It absolutely is entered in the makerspace contest. But that contest appears to only have prizes based on # of featured instructables, so I'm not sure what effect voting has for that, but I welcome all votes :)

I will not be providing the reference material for the internals, as they were purchased from Bryan. I would suggest to try contacting Bryan directly at:http://www.bryanbabich.com/contact/

That's really cool, nice work :)

Thank you very much

Thank you very much.I did not make the documents :( I purchased them from a run on a firefly prop forum.

You still could if you really want to, it's a process that can be done at any time. But if you are happy with the result, then just enjoy it as it is. If you do decide to burnish: I would test on a small area first so you can see how it would look, and if you like it continue, if you don't like how it looks, then leave it. :)

Very nice work, I've only just started to get into leatherwork in the last year, and I never imagined how fun and rewarding the hobby could be. (Any expensive till you have the tools, lol) Did you burnish your pieces?Once again, very nice work

Thank you, but I don't have a 3D printer. I used 3D hubs, you can always throw the files into their quoting program and get an idea of how much it would cost to have printed. :)

Wow, thanks. Indiana Jones is definitely one of my top heroes.

I've actually heard that a couple of times. I love DW and Captain Jack so I'll take that as a great compliment :)

Thank you very much, I made this awhile back when I was just starting to build props and such, still one of my favorites.

Thank you. Yes the propmakers did a great job on the communicator, I love fan made stuff, so much passion and talent. The one I have has full lights and sound.
