Stargate Low-Res Replicator Chip

This is NOT a replica. It's a real prop.

The “Low-Res” Stargate Replicator Chip was made exclusively for QMx by Stargate SG-1, Atlantis and Universe’s prop shop Artifice Cinematic Fabrication. It’s not a replica. It’s the real thing, exactly as used on the show, and made by the same folks who made what you see on-screen:

"Over the years the replicator pieces have evolved from a single original chip hand- carved in jeweler's wax, based on a concept drawing created by the Art Dept. That first piece was reproduced to create the parts needed for the original replicator bug and the numerous pieces used for the aftermath of the bug’s demise. The current version of the replicator chip is digitally designed for better crossover with the CGI and was produced in a cut sheet form for larger set builds, as well as this polycarbonate 3D print version, used for practical close up camera shots." — Gordon Bellamy, Artifice Cinematic Fabrication (Designer and Manufacturer of Stargate's Screen-Used Props)

Part of a limited-edition run of just 500 chips, the "low-res" replicator chip is 3D printed and prepped in Artifice's shop. Artifice refers to this version of the chip as low-res due to the "roughness" of the printing. These are typically made in quantity for scenes that require piles of inert chips. For close-ups, much more expensive "high res" chips are typically employed.

We place each chip in a velvet bag and wrap that up in metalized tissue paper inside a white translucent box, perfect for isolating highly dangerous samples of Alien technology. Each chip comes with a numbered, "mini" certificate of authenticity inside the box. The entire ensemble includes one chip and costs just $24.95 for a real prop directly from the Stargate prop shop!

The Stargate "Low Res" Replicator Chip is part of QMx's Real Prop series of studio-made collectibles.

WARNING: QMx has made every effort to verify that these chips are inert. We are not responsible for any chips that spontaneous reactivate nor any damage done to your starship as a result. Handle with care.
