This is a video by a friend of mine, who is a lifelong Trekkie. In his retirement, he decided to start a Youtube series discussing sci fi props. He's been 3D printing sci fi props for a few years now, making himself the toys we never had as kids.
His big breakthrough that got him going with this is that he started fiddling about with AI animations, which let him create an avatar of himself, so he didn't have to actually sit there and talk to the camera in his tiny basement himself

This actually features a bunch of information I didn't even know about the phaser rifle!
