Wow, making a lot of progress really quickly, keep up the good work!
At this rate, I'd guess you'll be done with it in a week or two.
 
Looking fantastic. I see some of the same design concepts from Volpin's needler. Size looks pretty spot on as well.

well when i made the 3D model i did some research and looking at volpins it was structurally stable and it wouldn't fall apart as well as since he already found the best locations for the speaker and batteries. When i did a concept design the battery holder it was in the bottom and my speaker was at the front but realizing that it would of bin to tight of a fit and it would not be removable i decided to put it together like his design since it is easy to replace. Voplin has helped alot when it comes to electronics and other tips, but i will be adding a few things that will be different in a way.

Update:

Ok.........here are some pics, most of these are out dated and only a few days from molding. Next time i do a pic dump i will be molding and casting!!!

Are you using direct ripped sounds for that board? They sound very close to perfect-quality.
 
Wow, looks amazing so far. What material did you use for the 3d printer?

I'm using PLA

Are you using direct ripped sounds for that board? They sound very close to perfect-quality.
I bought the chip with the needler sounds on it from replicaprops.com. Volpin got the audio files off a guy from the history of halo and the sounds are I would say accurate to the game.

Xtremenoob, this is one incredible build. I really like all the detail that you're putting into how the pieces fit together, etc. You're really going above and beyond. Amazing stuff to say the least. I'd love to get my hands on one of these kits if you decide to sell them. :D

Those mold pictures make me so jealous. I've never been brave enough to venture into molding but seeing your results really make me want to give it a try!
 
This is the second time I wish I had money to buy a needler, with the first being Volpin's. One thing i have wondered and forgive me if you have already said this but are you going to release the 3D printing files?
