Blake's 7 Liberator Teleport Bracelet
After posting the Liberator Wand files recently I was asked to model up the Teleport Bracelet from the show.  
As I had already made several a few years ago using the original parts I got the calipers out and started on it in Blender. 
 New V2 version
The v1 was done like the originals on the tv show.  However we now have spiffy new 3d printers so I thought lets make use of their capabilities.  So I redid the catch design.
The new catch is integrated into the band itself.  I have also added a small recess and matching lip so the catch now snaps closed with a satisfying click. 
With the old one depending on how you glued the catch into place it could fit a bit loose making the bracelet come open while wearing it.  The new V2 catch doesn't suffer from that. 
Not strictly accurate to the show but it's in an area you can't see.
Modified the button area, the frame around the button used to be just raised, it's now a separate part to be printed.  This makes it neater, at least for me as I suck at painting :)
The 3d printed hinge has been modified too.  It's slightly thicker and the screw holes have been re-positioned slightly to better match the metal versions available online.
