Movie Eyeball Kit which has been designed, developed and 3D printed by Tom's Refurbishments. Other credits go to "TARDISman550" and "The Prydonian" on Instagram and Twitter, for 3D modelling and dimensional assistance, and Chesterfield Model Making and Miniature Electronics (CMMEM) Ltd. for supplying the laser cut components.

Included in each kit are the parts as follows:

1 X 3D printed Movie eyeball

1 X 3D printed iris ring with 45mm opening

1 X 3D printed iris ring with 34mm opening

1 X laser cut plain lens

1 X laser cut lens with centre hole

1 X 3D printed 14mm "pupil"

1 X 3D printed 18mm "pupil"

6 X neodymium magnets (only 3 required for build)

The eyeball features an 8mm centre hole in the back for either attaching to the eyestalk assembly with a bolt or for wires to be fed through, should you require the unit to be lit up. The back also features a 1mm deep recess in the centre to suit a 1" (25.4mm) diameter tube. The front opening is designed to suit a standard ring-pull tin can (once the can has been washed out and cut to desired length) as per the original props. When designing this kit, this was a feature that was kept in mind throughout the whole development process to pay homage to the original props. By using a ring-pull can, rather than one which requires a tin opener, this allows the neodymium magnets to hold an iris part in place on the finished piece whilst also allowing access to the insides should you need to alter bolt fittings or electronics once complete.

The iris rings and lenses give the builder the options to make this into a 60's or 70's design. The plain lens is to be fitted to an iris to give the look of a 60's Movie era build or the lens with hole and pupil can be fitted instead to give a 70's look. Please note that neither of these are a working aperture iris. In the back of the iris rings are 3 holes for a single neodymium magnet to be glued into each. This can be done with super glue or epoxy resin (builder's choice).

This is a kit and will need finishing and assembling before painting. These parts will require filling and/or sanding before painting to achieve a smooth finish.
