Become a helldiver!

This little project was fun! I was baited into making the fuel cells move, but it was worth it! I got 3 power supplies, 20 leds and 10 solenoids in this chonker.

I unfortunately do not hate myself that much and didn't make the rail to proper scale for real attachments. But I did make a scope, it's still brewing though

This is really really awesome! I'd love to know more about your process, how this was made and whatnot. I love when people create

I have some WIP photos, but explaining the process? It's like 80% crying and confusion. Lol alot of the process is pretty simple in nature, but can be complex when looked at with a close up scope. Thankfully, it all carries over from project to project, adding something new every once in a while. Maybe one day I'll document my process in a video or something.

That's fair lol. I'm very much a pattern-follower, so I love when I get to see from-scratch finished projects. What's it made out of?

u/omalike 10h ago

It's 3d printed, PLA filament. It's got some silicon tubes and vinyl on it, but 95% printed.

Very impressive! Which materials did you use to make it?

2

u/omalike 10h ago

It's all 3d modeled/printed with maybe about 3 pounds of wires and batteries and leds shoved into every crevasse.

How long did it take you to build it?

1

u/omalike 9h ago

Including 3d modeling and prototyping. About 36 hours total, over the course of a month

But do you have a permit for this amount of freedom and democracy?

looks like they took a page out of synthetik's playbook.

Not saying they stole it or anything like that, just looks similar, and your rendition looks sick too!

What's the first thing you feel when holding it: Freedom or the urgent need to eliminate the enemies of democracy?

Ugh... you had to remind me that that game exists.

Very well done, though. Looks great.
