Features…

4 6mm x 10mm Magnets Revised and accurate to movie prop.

in all trays for cups etc.

Three part trays for faster printing &

reduced filament.
Modular sections bolted with M4 Bolts
Note** This is as accurate as I can get, this is the 3
leg version which will work with the existing tray
assembly from v2, but note trays 1 and 7 have a
different base plate!

The same as the two leg version, the dome will not
rotate with this in place, the 3 leg is harder as the
holoprojector sits between the trays.

The dimensions and angles work for a standard

design and with 18 degree leg / body (36 degree
overall). The trays are level when fitted and the top
trays have magnets which hold any accessories in
place.
 Firstly the basics, I printed this out in Bronze coloured PLA (I
MrBaddeley Jabba Tray
normally choose ABS), only because I found some cheap PLA. PLA
is glued with superglue and ABS with Acetone.
I used Simply3d for my slicer and split the process to print the
majority in .3 layer, whilst doing the top details in .1. The pattern
faces will show stepping at .2 and above, so print them in as high a
setting as possible, using split processes in Simply3d let me keep the
speed for the lower bits and the detail on the faces.
You need some “rare metal” magnets, 6mm diameter and 10mm
long. I got these from ebay. You’ll need 24 for the tray and more for
any accessories you make.
For the tray assembly you’ll need 12 of M4x15, 12 M4x30 along with
at least 36 square M4 nuts. For the legs you’ll need 4 M4x40.
Also 8 of M4x15 for the leg assembly and 10 M4x20 along with 10
nuts.

The trays are made of 3 sections, with 4 types of trays.

Print 3 x (TrayA-1, TrayA-2,TrayA-3) and 2x (TrayB-1,TrayB-2,TrayB-3)
Tray A is the upper trays and B is the lower.
You’ll also need Print 1 x (Tray1-1,Tray1-2,Tray1-3) and 1x (Tray7-1,Tray7-2.Tray7-3)
6 x Pins3LegA and 6 x PinsLegB
12 x InternalSupportANut You also need two sets of the leg files (Leg1A,B,C Leg2A,B,C and
12 x InternalSupportB four “buttons”.
1 set of T1 and T7 Leg Brackets (A&B)
Attaching the magnets….

On every upper tray (7 in total) you need to fit the magnets firstly.

The magnets needed are 6mm diameter by 10mm long Neodymium

Magnets. I got them from Ebay, there’s loads of sellers.

IMPORTANT, IN THE WORDS OF DOCTOR WHO.. “NEVER Reverse

the polarity of the neutron flow!“.

Make sure all magnets in all trays have the same polarity. I check
every one twice before fitting, this makes any items you make for
the tray will work with all trays……

The Magnets are a tight fit, I used a metal spatula to push them into
the holes, they clicked in tightly without the need for glue. I suggest
a little super glue for each magnet though.

Once you’ve fitted 28 magnets into the 7 tray (4 in each) you’re

ready to start the tray assembly.
 Making the trays…. (TrayA, Upper trays…) Upper Tray (TrayA-1, TrayA-2,TrayA-3) and we
need three of these…

1) Assembly is quite simple. Firstly we’re going to

fit the captive nuts needed for assembly later on.
You’ll see four indents in TrayA-3 for M4 Square
nuts. I pushed 4 nuts through the holes and
TrayA-1 tightened them to pull the nuts into the indents.
TrayA-2 You want these tight fitting. You can also apply a
TrayA-3 little superglue to hold these firm (obviously no
were near the threads). Then glue / weld the
InternalSupportANut piece over the top, gluing
to TrayA-3 (I used another nut to hold it in place
while it set). This is to fix the four captive nuts for
assembly later and need to be solid as we will
seal this tray once assembled.
InternalSupportANut
Once set, remove the bolt and you should have 4
captive nuts fixed in TrayA-3.

2) Assemble the tray, basically glue or weld TrayA-3 to TrayA-2

and glue the top on. Hold in place with clamps until set. This
should give you a fully assembled Tray. You just need to repeat 3
times!
Making the trays…. (TrayB, Lower trays…) Upper Tray (TrayB-1, TrayB-2,TrayB-3) and we
need two of these…

1) Assembly is quite simple. Firstly we’ll fit the 4

InternalSupportB. These are tubes which
provide extra support as you tighten the bolts
which hold the trays together. Again I used
TrayB-1 4mm bolts to align correctly and hold whilst
TrayB-2 gluing. Apply glue or acetone to the
TrayB-3 InternalSupportB and glue onto TrayB-3, use
bolts to align with the holes and nuts can be
put in place to hold whilst it sets.
2) Once set, Assemble the tray, basically glue or
weld TrayB-3 to TrayB-2, apply glue to the top
of InternalSupportB and glue the top on. Four
bolts can be used to hold solid again while
InternalSupportB
the glue sets. Remove the bolts and nuts
once set. These lower trays have four bolts
running through them to attach to the upper
trays.

You’ll need to repeat this twice.

 Tray 1 & 7 (Tray1-1, Tray1-2,Tray1-3) Tray 7 is
Making the trays…. (Tray1 & 7)
basically a mirror of this and same build.

1) Assembly is quite simple. Firstly we’ll fit the 2

InternalSupportB. These are tubes which
provide extra support as you tighten the bolts
which hold the trays together. Again I used
4mm bolts to align correctly and hold whilst
Tray1-1 gluing. Apply glue or acetone to the T1-
Tray1-2 LegBracket-A&B, these glue together to hold
Tray1-3 the nut, then glue onto Tray1-3, use bolts to
align with the holes and nuts can be put in
T1-LegBracket-A&B place to hold whilst it sets.
2) Next, fit T1-LegBracket assembly, this has two
M4 square nuts fitted in either end. Again,
this will we a sealed tray so make sure they’re
fixed well. Glue the bracket to the lower Tray
and hold in place with bolts going from the
lower tray through the captive nuts, remove
once the glue has set.
Repeat this for Tray 1 and Tray 3) Finally once you’re happy all is glued
7 to make the end trays. correctly, assemble the tray, 1-3 to 1-2 and
finally glue the top on.

Assembling the Tray

Take each piece as shown above, with the 6 PinsLegA & 6 Pins Leg B.
Notice they are slightly different on how they fit around the
patterning on the tray. These screw into the upper trays, into the
captive nuts using the M4 15 bolts which should countersink. Then
add square M4 nuts into the holes (marked in green). Finally bolt
the lower tray into the upper tray with the M4 30 bolts and tighten
up.

Note I did this so the TrayA and TrayB can be used for either 2 or 3
leg mode, the pins just space differently the 3 leg is slightly wider.
Assembling the legs (you’ll need two of these).

Firstly print Leg1A,B,C Leg2A,B,C and four “buttons”.

Leg1 is the main frame, it’s the load bearing piece and held together with M4
bolts (20mm ones should do), 5 bolts and nuts in total.

Take Leg1A, B and C, clean / sand to make sure it’s a good fit, glue together
and bolt with the 5 bolts to hold solidly. I applied a little superglue to keep the
nuts from working loose after tightening.

Secondly, take Leg2A, B & C, clean / sand to make sure it’s a good fit and glue
together on the pegs / face. Note there’s no bolts to hold this together.

Next, take 4 M4 Square nuts and put into the Leg1 Frame, you’ll see slots in
the circular “pegs” they may need a little clean, I used a Allen Key and pushed
them into firmly. This is for the 4 M4x15 bolts which attach Leg2 to Leg1.

Finally glue along the complete edge (and internal edges) on the Leg1 frame,
making sure you glue the lower curved “legs” well as these have no bolts. Bolt
Let2 to Leg1 with the 4 M4x15 and clamp the curved legs together so you
make a solid, well fitting assembly.
Finish off with the 4 “buttons”, these glue over the bolt heads finishing the
overall look. You’ve assembled the leg, repeat to make the second one.
Final Assembly

Last bit’s the easiest….

Attached both legs using 2 M4x40 bolts.

It’s up to you whether you glue or not.

I would also suggest putting some felt on the inside of

the two legs where they slot onto R2, to give a snug fit
and protect the paintwork.
