Add this wonderful display piece to your collection today! Included is a high-quality stand and a screen accurate hand scanner. This is the same hand scanner that I sell separately, and it features a rubberized base and holographic decals just like the screen-used prop. It also features a medical display on the bottom to match the medical display of the tricorder. This tricorder is based on a common reference model, but the design has been extensively rebuilt for screen accuracy, function, and finish. The faceplate and light bezels have been redesigned to match the dimensions and proportions of the original series prop. The lights are shaped and positioned to match the on-screen appearance. The tricorder includes three magnetically attached interchangeable screens. These screens are printed in high resolution on vinyl labels of the highest quality. They are then covered in a waterproof vinyl laminate. Finally, they are assembled in my screen assembly and covered with a clear “lens” to replicate the look of glass. The following screens are included. A landing party science display. A medical display created specifically for this build. A “powered off” display for static display. The moiré label is my own design and uses the same optical method used on the show. It is also covered in a clear plastic “lens” to add reflectivity. Hidden magnets have been designed into the lower door so it stays open naturally without flopping shut, and the body is printed with a textured finish to replicate the surface of the original prop while eliminating visible layer lines.

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.
