Classic Eyeball 1

About This File

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.

I haven't given this a try, but you did spark my motivation to dust off design my own with internal lens & Iris holder for Gene - I think they lose the camber front completely or it becomes a solid lip.

Hi Colonel,

Just wanted to thank you for making this. Was going to mess around with a bean can- or god knows what- to try and get my build as accurate as possible... then I came across this file.

I've recently joined a hobby robotics club who use a 3D printer, so I am keen to print this out and give it a whirl. I'll let you know how it goes when I get to that stage.

Best,

Ryan

how do I make this a full ball?

You add a 100mm hemisphere to the back. If you're building a Dalek you will need a bunch for the arm / gun. A lot of people use a magic 8 ball or plastic fillable spheres.
