Hand finished, assembled, and upgraded for weight, durability, and display quality. This is not a raw 3D print. This is a hand-finished display replica of the TR-580 Tricorder VII from Star Trek: The Next Generation, built for collectors who want something more substantial than a basic 3D print. Although many replicas share a similar outward appearance, this tricorder has been redesigned, reinforced, and finished by hand to improve durability, weight, and overall presentation. The result is a tricorder that feels like a real prop when handled and looks at home on display. Hand Finishing and Construction. Each tricorder is printed at a high infill density to give it realistic weight and rigidity. After printing, the surfaces are wet sanded by hand to remove layer lines and produce a smooth, finished appearance before final assembly. The body has been redesigned to accept stainless steel hinges rather than the plastic hinges commonly used on other replicas. This provides smoother action, a more authentic feel, and long-term durability. All decals have been redesigned for enhanced appearance. Upgraded Holster and Display. The included holster has been redesigned with a hidden internal compartment and is lined with felt to protect the tricorder’s finish. This upgrade improves both function and presentation and is not found on standard builds. A matching display stand is included, allowing the tricorder to be displayed open or closed. Fully assembled TR-580 Tricorder VII with hand scanner. Detailed sensor module and felt-lined medical module. Felt-lined holster with hidden compartment. This tricorder is intended as a display piece and collectible. It’s ideal for shelves, offices, studios, or Star Trek collections where detail and finish matter. Of course, you can use it for cosplay as well if you want the highest quality prop. This is a fan-made replica and is not a licensed product. Each piece is made to order and finished by hand, so small variations are normal and part of the process.
