Looks like a Type I mounted in the Type II amplifier if I remember my Star Trek correctly.

In fact the linked plans are only for the type 2 mount, you have to print the type 1 phaser separately to complete it.

Can I get it with the extra settings?

It’s fine by me that this static half-a-phaser has to be printed in 2 dozen+ separate parts and requires extensive finishing and assembly.
But it does make me wonder how come, when I post a mechanical spooky arm-wiggling ghost that’s only 9 parts, I get nothing but salty static for not making it easy enough.
OTOH I posted a chicken that took like an hour to make and doesn’t print that well, and I think that’s my most popular design and no one has been especially mean to me about it. You just don’t know how these assholes will react to stuff.

I don’t care how many pieces he is, that l’il guy RULES.
He needs to do the Official Star Trek V Marshmallow Dispenser.

I prefer the phasers used in ‘The Menagerie’. I liked the style. Much more ray-gunny.
Give in to your 12-year-old self. Look into the eyes of my avatar. Do this nnnnnnoooowwwwwww!
I thought they were marshmelons.

Those are cool. I much prefer either one to the Next Generation model, which makes no design sense whatever.

Yep. When I think ear thermometer, I don’t think ‘SPACE’.

Me too. I made one for a costume when I was a kid and it ended up being (and looking exactly like) an empty thread spool glued to a screwdriver or something.
Hollywood (and America) portray guns as handy remote controls for switching other people off, and whoever boobed the TNG phaser design forgot to be subtle about that
