NSD Eyeball
By Slythenperior
This is my version of the 3d printable 2005 Dalek eyeball. The thing that makes this different is the screw function allowing the front of the eye and the back to screw together. This is in case something goes wrong with the wiring and the light stops working. Just thought it would make things easier for everyone. Enjoy

Full Scale Shawcraft Dalek Dome Model and Negative
By Omeganinjaboy
The dome is based on the Version 3.1 Movie plans (so the eye slot is higher than other classic domes), though the negative and back half files are consistent with other classic domes dimentionally. You could just print two back halves if you do not want a movie dome and cut the eye slot yourself. I would advise you consult the dome dimentions in the Version 3.1 Movie plans and compare them against the dimentions of your own plans if you are building a different classic dome.
This is a 3D printable Dalek dome model that has a curved eye slot rather than a rectangle extruded one making it more accurate to the real thing (It took quite a while to figure out how to make a hole based on a curved measurement in CGI). The front and back halves are provided, but you will have to slice it up if the model is bigger than your printer's build volume. The skinny dome is half an inch (1.27cm) thick and the normal one is one inch (2.54cm) thick. There are lower poly and higher poly (HD) variants of most files. A negative of the dome is also included for you want to use however you wish.

NSD: Light Cage
By: Ultrastar
Intended for Dalek builders out there with the ability to 3D print models. This is a 3D model of the NSD Light Cage. This model was created with the purpose of 3D-Printing. However, with this being a 1:1 scale and 100% accurate model it can also be used as a reference for your own builds. Feel free to ask questions about this model as you see fit.

Exploded NSD dome for 3D printing
By cjorgensenmd
This in my NSD dome sliced into manageable files for 3D printing. Each section is still fairly large. you will need at least 200mm x 200mm print area, but once everything is printed, they can be attached to a lasercut base and then glued together for a very accurate NSD dome which will require very little finishing before a fiberglass mold is made. I have included both the raw solidworks files as well as the STLs in case anyone would like to make edits. I will edit this post once I have all 16 sections printed. I have two so far and they each took about 14 hours to finish, so this is a patient process.

Full Size 3D Printable NSD-like Dalek
By elembivos
Hello all, I hope some of you find this useful, and no one finds it frustrating...
These are the STL files I designed and used to print Duma. You can read all the details here:
I used this project to gain experience both with CAD and 3D printing. Both of which I had no experience with before starting. I started at the top and worked my way down, and you can see how my skills developed a bit as progress was made. There are places where things don't quite match the plans, most notably the NSD dome grooves are missing. I didn't have the skills at the time I did the dome to make that happen. One other thing to note, that you might not notice is the eye stalk is slightly shorter than the plans. This was done intentionally to fit a lamp rod down the center to reinforce it. Straight up 3D printed stalk was not strong enough by itself. Likewise the gun and plunger have lamp rods through them too, but I used long enough rods that they could be trimmed to fit. I took artistic license here and there, for the most part it follows the plans.
If you are thinking of attempting this project you need to know a few things. First, again, I had little to no CAD or 3D printing experience before starting this project. There are probably better models in the downloads section for various parts, but I drew them up myself anyway in an effort to gain experience. So this is the WHOLE thing, designed to fit together. If you substitute someone else's dome, or eye, or whatever, don't expect it to fit without some additional work on your part. Even if you stick strictly to these STL files, not everything is perfect. Read through Duma's diary 5 or 6 times to see where I struggled, and needed to make modifications post print, to make it all work. I think the only file in the bundle that isn't what I used is the Cowl, and there all I did was remove the name from the ID indent, because you probably don't want your Dalek to be named Duma. That said, this project took over 2 years, spanning 2 computers. I did my best to assemble the STL files into one place before uploading them, but be prepared for me to have made a mistake and included one or two files that don't work, or there may be something missing. If someone comes across this, I should be reachable through the forum to figure it out. Second, for the neck and dome you'll need a variety of M3 nuts and bolts. There are many, and I don't recall all the sizes, so have a variety on hand. The skirt and base are held together with a variety of M5 nuts and bolts. Currently the neck is glued and screwed, everything else is just screwed. Eventually it will be glued, but for the moment it seems to hold together pretty well with just nuts and bolts. In the beginning I was printing the parts with threads in the part. Which works ok, but isn't super robust. Eventually I learned how to embed nuts in the parts, so the lower parts don't have that. Third, the dome was designed with animatronics in mind. So there are motor mounts for the eye, and rotation. The motors are described in the build diary, but if you can't get hold of the same part, you will likely need to make some significant modifications. I haven't included anything for motorization in the shoulder or base, so it is currently a static prop. Eventually I'll work out those details. If you get to it before me I'd be happy to bundle your efforts in here. Lastly, I had no CAD or 3D printing experience when I started, so don't judge me 😉.
P.S. Someday I plan to update the files to include "what I would do if I had it to do over again." But don't hold your breath.

Dalek Thompson Submachine Gun
By Peekaymac
I drew these up so that my spotter could easily be in costume as a recognizable character that wasn't restrictive or limited movement. Basically they just need to wear 1930's style clothing and carry the Thompson and it's done. Oddly I didn't 3D print my own version - it was made by hand but I subsequently made these files for others to use.
You'll need:
6x Barrel Tines
2x Magazine Side 1
I have each of the magazine faces mirrored on my model but I can't remember why now.
1x each of everything else
I allowed 1.75mm pin holes for joining all the parts together.
Any questions please ask.

NSD Neck Matt
By elembivos
STL files to print replica pool matt for an NSD neck. Modeled after actual pool matting used on my first NSD build, which was not authentic Heronrib/Heronair. Just the closest equivalent I could find at the time. Designed to glue into a 3D printed set of neck rings. 3 levels are designed smooth where they will mate to the neck rings to provide more surface for gluing. You may need to trim here and there to fit your neck rings.

Necros/Renegade BASE (only) For Dome Lights
By Luke S
Took a long time and labor... just to get the slits in the bottom part. I used the Plans from the Necros and Renegade Daleks. Some Sanding may be needed after printing. It would be best for you to make a cast of the light part, and when you get those cast maybe you could sell them in the Sec shope for others 🤔
These Lights work perfectly for the Renegade Supreme, but you will need a band around the bottom.

NSD Cowl
By trickster
Here is a set of models for creating an NSD cowl. Jbourd was kind enough to gift me with a 3d model of a complete Dalek dome and cruel enough to ask if I could separate out the cowl. It took a while but I managed to remove the dome and leave the cowl intact. Of course it is far to big to fit on my build platform. So I tried cutting it in half vertically. Each piece could only fit my build space in a few orientations. And due to the size and nature of the parts, they all warped beyond use. I wasted nearly a kg of filament on failed attempts. I decided to split it into quarters. This allowed for smaller parts which would fit flat and any warp would be to the thickness. Thought I had it nailed, but the thickness was warped enough so that the towards the back of the cowl the opening was too small to fit the eyestalk pivot. So I added a shim to compensate.
I have been using 3d Builder which is included with Windows 10. It has issues. For whatever reason I was able to separate out and save three out of four quarter pieces but the fourth would not save no matter what I did. So instead I used Replicator to mirror the pieces along the X-axis. That is why only right side parts are included. You have to use your build software to mirror them for the left side parts.
I've included the full cowl model in case you want to slice and dice it on your own. I've included the shim I used and a long peg to use with it. I suggest building out the four main parts and see if you need it.
Also the bottom parts had an issue with one corner pulling loose from the build plate and warping the holes. So I put a throw away block next to that corner to hold it down.
I printed everything at 10% fill .2mm thickness. Use full support and raft for the main pieces but not pegs and shim.
One thing I did not expect but really like is that in producing the curves, the printer leaves a pattern which is similar to wood grain. This is another reason why I included parts for only one side. By mirroring the parts the grain pattern is symmetrical.
Here's some pics. You can see the grain effect.

Full Scale Shawcraft Dalek Dome
By Chris Moliere
My class just gave us Fusion 360 accounts, so I whipped this up in my spare time. This is based on the most recent Shawcraft Dalek plans, as of upload. Since my printer doesn't have the proper build volume to accommodate the entire dome, it has been split into sixths. Enjoy!

NSD Cowl
By Macropod80
This is the most accurate-looking I could get going by the dimensions in the official plans back in 2017 (which don't seem to me to quite work exactly as specified?) Fits fine on my Dalek Kevin's dome (bumpy as it is). Of course my version of 'exactly according to the plans' may well differ from your version of 'exactly according to the plans', but that's Dalek-building for you...
This has been around for a while so I know at least one other builder in the world has used it successfully.
I printed in PLA for toughness and lack of distortion, at 0.2mm layer height. Just barely squeezes into an UpBox+.

Classic Eyeball
By Aaron J Climas
This is the front half of a classic style eyeball from the 60's. It's a slightly odd size hemisphere, and the 12 degree angle on the lip can be hard to get even.
So I have made a 3D print file, presented in both STL and OBJ format for people to print if they aren't so keen on making on themselves.
I haven't printed this item yet, but plan to later today. Although checking over the file there should be no major issues. It should fit perfectly flush with a 4" (102mm) hemisphere. It has 360 isoparms coming out across the body, so shouldn't suffer from not having enough resolution on the body.
Edit- I printed the file today, and it came out without a hitch. Although the model was 90 degrees out! Please give me a shout if you print this.

Servo Iris Assembly
By trickster
UPDATE: I noticed lots of people are downloading the model files one at a time. It's much easier to download the complete package and avoid the download limits. Here's the zip: ServoIris.zip
UPDATE: There are pictures illustrating the assembly process in my build diary. Note that there are two iris versions in the diary. This is the second one.
This is a complete set of 3d objects to create a micro servo driven iris insert. It is designed to fit into this eye with a little bit of sanding and work with this servo and this LED disk. All parts have the proper clearances based on my printer using .2mm layers. Some of these are pretty close to the wire and you might have to fiddle a bit. I printed everything but the LensPlate using white ABS and painted various surfaces black. The LensPlate is translucent blue ABS with an acetone vapor bath. The leafs and SlotRing were lightly sanded smooth.
Objects included (bottom up):
Casing SlotRing peg (6 required) leaf (6 required, note the stl file is flagged as broken and can't be repaired, but it prints ok. Don't use a raft.) LensPlate (print using translucent filament) [LED disk] LockRing (orients with tabs at the top) DualSlotLEDPlate (LED disk attaches to this) ServoArm (servo horn fits inside) [servo horn] ServoArmCover ServoMountRing ServoStandoff (2 required) ServoMount [servo] ServoMountCap
Check out my build diary for pictures illustrating assembly described below. Note that there are two iris versions in the diary. This is the second one.
Assemble the Bottom Iris Section
Assemble the slot ring into the casing. Spray the front and inner lip flat black.
You will need to print 6 each of the leafs and pegs. Then assemble each peg and leaf so that the peg sticks out the opposite side from the post on the leaf. Give them a light sanding to get them smooth. Now paint them flat black and sand smooth again. Leaf assemblies orient with the offset post (the one printed as part of the leaf) down. You have to get all 6 properly nested.
The LensPlate is printed with blue translucent filament and acetone vapor bath smoothed out. Orienting this piece is the tricky part. You will probably have to spin it a few times to figure out which way works. LockRing goes on top of the LensPlate and fits the slots of the casing. You have to clear out the tiny support thingies on the casing btw. Orient the LockRing with the tabs on top.
The LED disk has 4 holes punched in it. Find the pair that fits the DualSlotLEDPlate and press it on with the wires through the hole. Then add the plate to the stack with the LED facing down. The posts on the LensPlate should be at one end of the slots and should move within the slots to open and close the iris. If this is not the case, try disassembling and rotating the LensPlate one step around the leafs until you find the way that works.
At this point you should be able to operate the iris by hand. This is a good time to sand the outside of the casing and inside of the eye front until they fit together properly.
Assemble the Top Servo Section
I used the micro servo with feedback from Adafruit. Eventually I plan to use the feedback wire to know the servo's current position. I believe the non-feedback micro server is slightly different and probably won't fit this mount. You could use a different servo but would have to adapt the ServoMount and ServoMountCap. Trap the servo between the ServoMount and ServoMountCap so that the servo shaft is in the center of the mount. The pieces should fit together snugly.
The servo comes with several horns. Find the one that matches the hollow in the ServoArm. Trap the horn between the ServoArm and ServoArmCap and snap the pieces together. It only fits one way.
Rotate the servo shaft by hand to determine the limits and set it to the center of its range. Attach the arm assembly to the shaft so it is at a right angle to the servo mount and secure it with the screw.
Assemble the servo assembly, two ServoStandoffs, and the ServoMount Ring. If the standoff pegs are too tight, lightly ream out the holes.
Final Assembly
Operate the iris by hand so it is at the halfway point. Attach the servo assembly to the iris. Everything should be properly oriented and the servo assembly should fit snugly on the casing. Make sure all the tabs are lined up. Try operating the servo arm by hand and verify the iris opens and closes. It will not close 100% and will probably not reach the limit on the slots.
Now you have to connect it all up. I used an RJ45 socket and ethernet cable connected to a Raspberry Pi with Adafruit servo/PWM and PifaceRelayPlus HATs. Here's the software. You will have to experiment with the servo to determine what relay and PWM values to use.
Here's the zipped objects: ServoIris.zip

I'm in my 50s and have since I was a boy watching Dr Who in the 70s always dreamed of making a Dalek for fun, now I have the time and resources, along with your forum's help it's time to live that dream.
I have watched some of the members videos, and I am very impressed with what I have seen.
Long live the Who verse.
I will document my progress and share any innovations I make
