About This File
Thanks to Shane for helping me out with dimensions on this! Dalek Candi has an Imperial plunger that has original heritage. He was kind enough to measure up his plunger for me and I have build a 3D model of it based on those dimensions.
To my eyes, the front feels too big, however I haven't seen an original in hand, or printed this one yet. So I can't judge.
The rear section I have deliberate made quite soft, as the original casts are, and I feel doing a perfect computer set of straight angles wouldn't give the right feeling to the whole thing. There are only 120 verts around the circumference, I could potentially increase that if anyone wanted to make a more detailed print than that. Most people, I imagine will be using relatively low end printers that will require cleanup anyway, so I don't think it should be a problem.
Potentially if required I could split it to a front and back, so the front dish/ surround could be printed, then the rear 'tower' printed and then joined. In my experience prints often warp somewhere and joining like that often ends up with parts that don't join well.
It was created in Autodesk Maya, and the front ring should be about 120mm to give sense of overall scale. Please give me a shout and show images if you print it, as I would love to see the results.
All the best,
Aaron
