This is a replica of the comscanner prop from "The Orville".
NOTE: This model requires non-printed parts to complete - at the very least, a small sheet of clear polycarbonate or acrylic; however, it's intended to be a functioning hand prop with a spring-loaded scanner screen and LEDs to light both screens. This is not a model you can print, pull off the bed, and display without doing at least some post-printing work and assembly.
Included in the files are a piece that can be used to make a holster for the comscanner (for cosplay purposes), and a wall-mountable display bracket (designed for use with 3M Command strips).
