Summary

You will need:

Console Base x1
Console Top x1 (one of five)
Time Rotor Base x1
Time Rotor Poles x1
Time Rotor Tube x3 (clear filament)
Stick x4
Dematerialization Circuit Housing x1 (for the first 4 console tops)
5/8" wide by 1.5" compression spring x1
40mm acrylic tube with 2mm wall thickness x1
40mm acrylic disc 2mm thick x1
Superglue

Print the console top file at about 15% infill at the finest quality you can.Print the Time Rotor Tubes and Time Rotor Poles at 100% infill in transparent filament.
The sticks go in the four holes in the console top and base and keep them together. If they don't fit, try sanding them down. You ideally shouldn't need to glue the two together, but the spring may push the time rotor up against the console top.
I tried to use the same type of spring as the 80s console hosted on 3DprintingDoctorWho.com in case anyone had spares lying around, there are links to the specific springs there. Glue one end into the console base and one end into the time rotor base, but make sure the squares on the sides will fit in the grooves of the console top once it goes on.
Put the three tubes in the three big holes, then the poles aligned so they run through the middle of each tube. For the glass, I use an acrylic tube and cut it down to size. You'll have to saw through it and it's easy to break, so look it up online to make sure you're doing it right. It should be cut to be 2 and 3/8" tall, then have the acrylic disc carefully glued on top.

References to every variation between the five consoles can be found on page 23 of the PDF on https://kasterborous.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Build_Your_Own_TARDIS_Console-The_Pertwee-Years.pdf. It also has a bunch of pictures you can use as a color guide when painting.

For painting, I recommend Citadel paints. The color "Deepkin Flesh" is extremely close to the TARDIS green right out of the bottle. If you're not printing the tubes out of transparent green filament, you can either use one coat of Citadel's contrast paint or use Kryon's stained glass spray paint, both of which should go on decently clear. You can do the same with the poles object if you printed them clear, paint the middle triangle red and the light bulbs white, the rest of it should be solid silver.
