NOTE:
You can get all of the instructions and details over at my instructable which I have published on this very thing:
www.instructables.com/id/Sonic-Screwdriver-Wand-2-the-FDM...
BACKGROUND:
'Twas the year 2014 when a friend of mine asked me to make her something similar to the Sonic Screwdriver Wand made by expert wandmaker Maranda Li aka Praeclarus Wands. The result of that inquiry was my own take on this, which I have documented in its own instructable (www.instructables.com/id/Sonic-Screwdriver-Wand-Doctor-Wh...). I even made a nice Tardis / Ollivander hybrid box for it to be kept in and again, made an instructable for that (www.instructables.com/id/TARDIS-inspired-Fitted-Wand-Box/). Going further out of my way I designed a huge, A1 blueprint-like poster for the wand which you can grab for free and print for non-commercial purposes if you feel like it (www.flickr.com/photos/cabbitcastle/14480701121/in/album-7..., or on instructables). Print it, slap it onto your wall, make your own T-Shirt with it, as long as you don't make any money off it and maybe, just maybe send me a picture of it I'm cool with it.
It was supposed to be a one-off project, yet time and time again I had been asked if there was a possibility to make another one. It seems access to woodworking lathes is rather limited, which in hindsight should come as no surprise. I mean if you don't have a lathe yourself, how do you even find someone who does? Plus, using one isn't that straightforward either. Until recently one determined lass managed to bribe, I mean convince me to bring this project back to life. The catch this time is now that I have my very own 3D printer I'll be allowed to make the whole thing 3D printable, though mixed media or complete wood reconstruction is, of course, still possible for anyone who wants to do so. I think that access to 3D printers or 3D printing services ought to be far better than the woodworking lathe supply, so I might actually lay this to rest for good this time.
PROJECT DESIGN:
Generally speaking, when recreating a prop or using it as an inspiration, getting as much high-quality reference material on it as possible is a tremendous help. As I am mostly copying myself / the previous iteration of this project and as I am a data hoarder I still have all the necessary material safely stored on a hard drive. Additionally I have procured some rather decent pictures from a production-used Sonic Screwdriver from Doctor Who episode “The Day of the Doctor” thanks to a tbt Props sale as well as from a high-quality replica by The Celestial Toystore.
Now it was never the intention to make a perfect replica, so my design is still not that accurate in respect to the original prop. I actually know for a fact that there are mistakes. It is, however, more detailed than my previous version with most differences being in the details. The general design can be seen in the sketches I have attached as a PDF here.
I have taken steps to have the wand and grip part seperate (as was done previously) and joined by an 220mm long, 8mm diameter steel rod to give a higher weight to the Sonic Wand, making it feel higher-class than it actually is. As I realise not everyone will want to go down that route I have taken the liberty to design a couple different versions for various types of printing / manufacturing / joining. You can find them going over the instructable link at the top.

La band finlandese sale sul palco dell'Alcatraz per presentare il nuovo album.
Direttamente dalla Finlandia, la freak band Lordi sbarca a Milano con il suo stile teatrale e unico. Influenzata dall'heavy metal anni Ottanta di Alice Cooper, W.A.S.P. e Twisted Sister, l'eccentrica formazione si esibisce domenica 21 aprile all'Alcatraz, per presentare al pubblico milanese l'ultimo album.
Mr. Lordi is known by the people of Earth through the many roles he has taken in the past, but his real identity is not known. Mr. Lordi is a descendant of the 900’s century Southern demons and Northern trolls. He has several powers he acquired from demons together with supernatural powers and stamina derived from the trolls. He grew up under protection of a Lappland’s owl and three reindeers. Mr. Lordi seems to use an ax as his principal weapon but his greatest power lies on his body and soul, not on his weapon.
Amen – by the real name Amen-Ra, also known as The Ancient Assassin, The Unstoppable Avenger and The Living Dead, was born in Karnath, Egypt. He was a ruler of the sixth dynasty of Egypt and an assassin who had several wives and many children. He rose to power in 2184 before our time and was killed by rebellious subordinates after having failed one of his own attempts of assassination. He got two deep cuts in his face which destroyed his look and made him reveal his teeth forever.
Ox – The Hellbull, known also as The Bulltaurus, The Hornhead or Operation 10 aka O.X. was born on an island of Crete. He was a bulltaurus – half a man, half an ox - thousand years before our time. They used to be massive, frightening and savage soldiers and were not many in ancient Greece. Ox used to serve a magician called Androlus as a life guard.

My photo of Minne the Lake Creature was published in the April '12 issue of Mpls.St.Paul Magazine after it was found on flickr.
"SHE'S BAAACK!
→ Like those neighbors you haven't seen all winter, Minne the Lake Creature reappears each spring to jazz up our lives. There's no telling where she'll pop up. She likes all the Minneapolis lakes. If you do see her, don't ask if she wintered in Florida (not that there's anything wrong with that!). Minne takes pride in being a hardy Minnesota gal who likes to stay close to home."
Full disclosure: The photo was meant to highlight the return of the floating sculpture to the Chain of Lakes, but the photo was actually taken last fall.
Published by William Heinemann in 1952.
The book was written in 1950, the same year that Nevil Shute emigrated to Australia. It contrasts the bleakness of post-war London and Britain with the bright, expansive lifestyle of Australia, where food is plentiful and the landscape is awe-inspiring.

Dopo aver incantato il pubblico che ha gremito i tre concerti dello scorso giugno all’Arena di Verona con i suoi successi di sempre e i brani contenuti nell’album “Alt”, magistralmente accompagnato dalla sua band e dell’Orchestra Filarmonica della Franciacorta diretta dal Maestro Renato Serio, Renato Zero partirà a novembre con “Alt In Tour” una serie di imperdibili date nei più importanti palasport d’Italia: il 6 al Mediolanum Forum di Assago a Milano.
Unico, rivoluzionario, libero, in prima linea da cinque decenni contro tutte le ipocrisie, innovatore, precursore, provocatore, attento come nessuno ad ogni tipo di minoranza e alla nostra interiorità.A tre anni dal doppio progetto di “Amo”, incentrato su tematiche più intime e riflessive, Renato Zero è tornato, forte di rinnovata passione e spirito di denuncia, ai grandi temi sociali e alle battaglie civili con il nuovo disco di inediti “ALT”, disponibile nei negozi tradizionali e in digital download.
“Alt” racchiude 14 brani inediti, dove trovano spazio i temi della fede, della violenza, dei giovani, del lavoro, del destino dell’arte, dell’amore in tutte le sue declinazioni, dell’ecologia, delle politiche d’accoglienza e dei nuclei affettivi. Tutti i brani del disco, prodotto da Renato Zero e Danilo Madonia, sono stati scritti dall’artista romano insieme ad autori e compositori come Vincenzo Incenzo, Danilo Madonia, Maurizio Fabrizio, Phil Palmer, Valentina Parisse, Luca Chiaravalli, Mario Fanizzi e Valentina Sica. La cover dell’album e le foto contenute nel booklet sono state realizzate dal fotografo Roberto Rocco.
Dopo il successo del brano “Chiedi”, RENATO ZERO è attualmente in radio con “RIVOLUZIONE”, secondo singolo estratto dall’ultimo album di inediti “ALT”, certificato oro a sole tre settimane dall’uscita (certificazioni diffuse da FIMI / GfK Italia).
28 album in studio, 3 raccolte, più di cinquecento canzoni. 45 milioni di dischi venduti. Ma Renato Zero ancora ai trofei preferisce la piazza, le sue accorate grida ed i suoi intimi sussurri. La fede, la violenza,i giovani, il lavoro, il destino dell’arte, l’amore nelle sue declinazioni, l’ecologia, le politiche d’accoglienza, i nuclei affettivi. Tanti temi trovano spazio in queste nuove sorprendenti canzoni, che ancora una volta non leggono il giornale di oggi ma quello di domani, guardando avanti e alle nuove generazioni con coraggio, spirito identitario e irriducibile speranza.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by Lévy Fils et Cie of Paris and Versailles. The card has a divided back.
La Dame au Gant
The Lady With The Glove was painted by Carolus-Duran (1837, Lille - 1917, Paris). It is a portrait of Mme Carolus-Duran, née Pauline Croizette.
The painting was in the Musée du Luxembourg until 1929, after which it was moved to the Louvre where it stayed until 1982, since when it has been in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
The large oil on canvas painting is 228 cm (89.7 in) high and 164 cm (64.5 in) wide, and weighs in at a hefty 76 kg. At bottom left it bears Carolus-Duran's signature and the date 1869.
La Dame au Gant was first exhibited at the Salon of the Palais des Champs Elysées in Paris in 1869. It was a great success, and won a medal. Since then it has been featured in a further 25 exhibitions held throughout the world, with the most recent being High Society at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam in 2018.
The Lady with the Glove is a life-sized full-length portrait of the artist's young wife. It is an archetypal formal portrait, presenting a sober composition, masterful drawing and delicate use of colour.
Madame Carolus-Duran stands out from a near-empty background which is painted in shades of grey and black. The dark, changing colours of the gown catch the eye, as do three interrelated elements:
-- The young woman's face and fashionable hairstyle.
-- Her hands, one drawing off a pearly grey glove.
-- The glove on the ground underlined by the painter's signature, in red. This anecdotal detail gives the work a modern instantaneous look which is why Emile Zola saw in Carolus-Duran a disciple of Manet.
The Postcard
A DP Series postcard that was printed and published by E. T. W. Dennis & Sons Ltd. of Scarborough. The rather obscure joke isn't very funny.
The card was posted in Colwyn Bay, Denbighshire on Monday the 17th. August 1970 to:
Mr. & Mrs. F. Hardy,
Lees Lane,
Winterton,
Scunthorpe,
Lincolnshire.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Arrived safe. It is
raining this morning -
no good to do a bit
of harvesting today.
Hope the weather is
a bit better for you.
Daisy".
Venera 7
So what else happened on the day that Daisy posted the card?
Well, the 17th. August 1970 marked the launch of Venera 7.
Venera 7 was a Soviet spacecraft, part of the Venera series of probes to Venus. When it landed on the Venusian surface on the 15th. December 1970, it became the first spacecraft to soft-land on another planet, and the first to transmit data from there back to Earth.
Launch of the Venera 7
The probe was launched from Earth on the 17th. August 1970, at 05:38 UTC. It consisted of an interplanetary bus, based on the 3MV system, and a lander. During the flight to Venus, two in-course corrections were made using the bus's on-board engine.
Design of the Venera 7 Lander
The 500 kg lander was designed to be able to survive pressure of up to 180 bars and temperatures of up to 580 °C. This was significantly greater than what was expected to be encountered, but significant uncertainties as to the surface temperatures and pressure of Venus resulted in the designers opting for a large margin of error.
The interplanetary bus carried a solar wind charged particle detector and a cosmic ray detector. On the lander there were temperature and pressure sensors as well as an accelerometer to measure atmospheric density. The probe also carried a radar altimeter.
The Touch-Down of the Lander
Venera 7 entered the atmosphere of Venus on the 15th. December 1970. The lander remained attached to the interplanetary bus during the initial stages of atmospheric entry to allow the bus to cool the lander to −8 °C (17 °F) for as long as possible.
The lander was ejected once atmospheric buffeting broke the interplanetary bus's lock-on with Earth. The parachute opened at a height of 60 km, and atmospheric testing began with results showing the atmosphere to be 97% carbon dioxide.
The parachute was initially reefed down to 1.8 square metres, opening to 2.5 square metres 13 minutes later, when the reefing line melted as designed.
Six minutes after the un-reefing, the parachute started to fail, resulting in a descent more rapid than planned. The parachute eventually failed completely, and the probe entered a period of freefall. As a result, the lander struck the surface of Venus at about 16.5 m/s (37 mph).
The probe appeared to go silent on impact, but recording tapes kept rolling. A few weeks later, upon a review of the tapes by the radio astronomer Oleg Rzhiga, 23 minutes of very weak signals were found on them. The spacecraft had landed on Venus, and probably bounced onto its side, leaving the antenna not aimed correctly for strong signal transmission to Earth.
The probe transmitted information to Earth for a total of 53 minutes, which included about 20 minutes from the surface. It was found that the temperature at the surface of Venus was 475 °C (887 °F). From the spacecraft's rapid halt (from falling to stationary inside 0.2 seconds), it was possible to conclude that the craft had hit a solid surface with low levels of dust.
The probe provided information about the surface of Venus, which could not be seen through a thick veil of atmosphere. The spacecraft definitively confirmed that humans cannot survive on the surface of Venus, and excluded the possibility that there is any liquid water on Venus.
News crews waited outside the Oakland Police Department for the arrival of the accused kidnappers of Hasanni Campbell.

I usually do not watermark all my photography because actually I am open to sharing it with others to use so long as I am properly credited and there is no commercial usage where a model release or other licensing may be required. If you are browsing through my un published works and see something that you feel you would like to use in any way, please feel free to reach out to me and let me know what you have in mind because I may have some other unpublished images that I would also be happy to just share with you. I will appreciate that people always ask first before using anything. Most of the time I will only ask for a link back to my website. The reason I put a watermark on this example of a black and white portrait was because I wanted to play around with using the new logo I designed. I'm thinking of using this new logo on my photography website: www.warrenleestudio.com

All profits from this book will go to two charitable organizations still working in the Gulf Coast.
"Signs of Life is a remarkable collection of the most striking Gulf Coast signs that appeared following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Taken by over forty photographers—local residents, relief volunteers, and those passing through—the messages in Signs of Life are sacred and profane, defiant and defeated, heartbreaking and humorous, frightening and encouraging. They remind us that everyone has a story to tell."
—Josh Neufeld, author of Katrina Came Calling
"It's impossible to speak for the people who lived through Katrina. Far better to let them speak for themselves. That's exactly what these images (sad, hopeful, funny, enraging) capture—and it's exactly what Signs of Life is about."
—Rob Walker, author of Letters from New Orleans
*****Profits from sales of the book will go to two organizations still working in the area: Common Ground Relief and Hands On Network.*****
I am honored to have a picture included in this noble endeavor.

The Flash Annual
By Mark Allen
The Flash Annual #1, published by D.C. Comics, 48 pages, original cover price $1.25.
File this one under "great works forgotten." I'm referring to the first ten issues and first annual of the 1987-88 run on D.C. Comics' Flash series, by Mike Baron and Jackson Guice.
Before Mark Waid initiated the concept of the Speed Force, Flash's inter-dimensional power source, Baron developed the concept that Wally West's (a.k.a. The Flash) speed came from a hyperactive life force, or "chi." This was highlighted in the first Flash annual, in 1987.
The annual begins with the Flash foiling a hold-up at a Chinese restaurant. Having disarmed the crooks, he snatches the mask off of one of them, only to have him hit the ground, as if struck. Shaken, West confers with Marshall Lau, a former master of the "healing arts," who educates him on how the old masters used to project their internal power towards others, causing injury or death. A far cry from the "Speed Force" idea. Then again, there were quite a lot of things different about this Flash "run." Instead of the speed of light, the Flash had a top speed of about 700 miles per hour. Not an especially altruistic hero, Wally West was a bit of a womanizer. He was even a millionaire for a few issues.
One thing that was not different, however, was the entertainment value. Mike Baron's characterization skills shine brightly in this series. The character of West was not of the cookie-cutter variety, as mentioned above. He came across as just a "regular joe" with super powers, living very much in the shadow of his dead mentor.
Artist Jackson Guice also put his mark on the character. He drew the Flash long and lean, just as you would expect a runner to look. Where many older Flash fans consider Carmine Infantino the character's definitive artist, Guice gets my vote.
This forever-fresh take on a classic character is recommended for those who enjoy great superhero action and characterization.
