One thing keeps popping into my brain every time i see this, and it's... that i wish Roddenberry would've lived long enough to see this. It would've blown his mind. Amazing creation you've made MD, i'm continuously impressed by this.
I was never that big of a fan of Star Trek, but wow! That an amazing prop! You can tell a lot of great work and detail went into making that tricorder work as good as it does! Great Job!
If only all of humanity’s creative efforts were being put towards something this useful and this progressive instead of towards new ways to kill each other. Wow, what a world it would be then for us to live in?
Tbh it really shouldnt be required. its hardly a powerful speaker. Its just not a great amp chip. Ive already found a d class replacement from Ti, but its a different package so Its not just a drop in replacement. While a smaller package, its the same pin out.
@@cjmerida2010 best thing to do is have a read through this and if you still want one, sign up and reply with your interest. When I do another run I'll contact ppl off that forum post. www.therpf.com/forums/threads/unused-concept-voyager-tricorder-second-run-interest.344207/
@@MD_Builds Thanks for the reply. I have read all the information, and despite the cost... I am interested enough to start saving for this Masterpiece. When I have the total cost available, I will be contacting you officially. Thank you so much for your devotion and commitment to making Star Trek a lot closer to reality for the world.
@@MD_Builds Do you ever think you might offer this in kit form at a reduced cost; perhaps with files for the 3D printed parts and the custom electronics?
This is the most amazing fan build of a prop I think I’ve ever seen. Do you plan on doing another run this year? I saw on your link that you had paused, but that was in 2022. I hope things are better for you! ❤
Not this year. 2024 at the earliest. Not only did the last run burn me out. I've also just lost my father. And I'm about to be dealing with a big house move. Things are going to be very chaotic for a while. Best thing to do is register your interest on the rpf thread. And I'll be contacting everyone to see who's still around and begin the process when I'm ready.
@@MD_BuildsI’m sorry for your loss and what you’re going through. You are obviously a skilled engineer and prop maker. I hope for all the best for you.
Thank you, Im pretty much at capacity for the next run. But I wont be starting till next year at the earliest. As I have a ton of stuff happening right now. If youre serious, the best thing to do is sign up at the RPF and post your interest on my run thread www.therpf.com/forums/threads/unused-concept-voyager-tricorder-second-run-interest.344207/ . When the time comes ill contact everyone and start the process.
Wow very nice build, best tricorder replica ive ever seen. I dont know if this is possiable, but it would really be awsome to have some scanning functions. Maybe something like the flipper zero?
Maybe, a few and a lot :p All info is here www.therpf.com/forums/threads/unused-concept-voyager-tricorder-second-run-interest.344207/ if youre serious sign up and leave your interest in the thread and Ill contact you when I do another run.
Not currently. There will be another run starting next year. But all the slots are filled. Best thing to do is find my thread on the replica props forum and mention your interest. Then I'll come to you when I can as I go through the list
It says in your video description “for those who received one”. Does this mean it’s possible to order this from you, and if so where can I go to do that?
@@MD_Builds found it. Thank you. Was a little shocked of the price, but in thinking about it, it makes sense. Given the long process in making it, the custom building and the fact it is not a mass production device. Hopefully I can save up to get one eventually. At least I’m in the UK too, so I don’t have to worry about import fees lol. Do you think in the future you might recreate the doctors medical tricorder, with it’s detachable diagnostic scanning module? Always liked that one, Star Trek doctors were a big inspiration for me to study medicine.
@@sinistersh0t2741 Thanks, When i last replied I didnt have the link on hand sorry to make you search for it :) But Yes I realise its expensive, but as you say yeah it takes a lot of work to build these.

Wow this is amazing. I've got a few questions: 1. How user configurable is it? Can an en end-user easily change the name and rank that appears in the menu (via SD, via reflashing, etc.) 2. If someone were to be interested in acquiring onr of these from you, would they be able to request minor customizations (such as changing it from USS Voyager to , say, USS Enterprise)?
End user can't change name as that's baked into the firmware. As is the uss voyager. It would be possible to change it with some programming. But then it's not the voyager tricorder :p
@@MD_Builds Got it. Thanks for the reply! It's a really good design. I definitely have to consider setting aside the funds for something like this, should you ever do another run. I hope your life circumstances improve!

@@MD_Builds "I hate wireless charging. It's pl woefully inefficient." I agree. If you do not want to waste power, a charger that makes contact is the choice, and maybe you can reclaim some power by generating it with the hinges. You may need a charging base to do this with style.
@@MD_Builds Another suggestion, for an effective tool incorporate a Flipper Zero into the next version, this will give you REAL sensors and the ability to take actual measurements.
Just image if you put the same amount of time and effort into something useful? Maybe actually trying to build one that does some real functional scans and communication. Not a dis, you did an excellent job building a toy.
@@MD_Builds It came off kind of harsh but very good to hear that. I used to build functional things too ... worked on very early USB prototypes. I wasn't trying to minimalize your talents.

What would Airport Security or Customs have to say about this when traveling?
Prob ok as long as your phaser and ba’atleth are in checked luggage.
"Do not use your tricorder as a puppet, not even in an emergency humor situation."
Mr Tricorder would be very upset!
Your not my real programmer, I do wat I want 😂
Amazing. I say this as someone who made a Tricorder for Android. Even your interface is better than mine
Can I purchase one of these tricorders from you? If so how to I go about ordering one?
