If you were a worm, I would make a worm house in Fusion360 and 3D print it out for you. It would have a white picket fence, a sunroom, several empty pots for your plants (or fake 3D printed flowers if you're the type of worm where if you touch a plant, it just dies) and a big garage.
I finally nailed down the fit and finish issues and am pretty satisfied with the result. I'd be happy to print another one, or almost any other camera model you might like. Send me a DM and we'll figure it out.
it all started rather innocently. we just found two magical rocks in our d&d campaign - one that produces heat, and another that creates water. my character (well, okay, my character was a warlock and not an artificer, so it was mostly me, really) put two and two together and figured out that this may be used as an infinite source of steam. tech level of our campaign allowed us to manufacture or commission custom parts made of metals like bronze, copper, platinum, et cetera. and so, shenanigans ensued. out of character, i devised a contraption that would shoot a blast of steam and parboil anything that stands in front of it. war crimes, yay!
so, i turned to fusion360 to produce a feasible design for this nightmare contraption. as we had access to copper and bronze, i figured out that a simple tube shape with a conical nozzle could realistically withstand the heat and hold the steam pressure. one compartment holds the water rock, the other has a copper radiator with the heat stone inside of it. pull the lever, water contacts copper, water go whoosh and boom, steam cannon! for some unknown reason, i actually turned to thermodynamics and material science to figure out how thick the tubes should be. i suppose i was just taken by fey mood and went full turbonerd on this. ah well.
then, the first prototype was finished and rendered. after some back and forth, and quite a bit of negotiating with our DM (i'm really sorry for exposing you to my bullshit, Telen) we agreed that this could feasibly be produced within our setting. but something felt off. i was not quite satisfied with how it looked.
i carried on and added a collapsible tripod for easier deployment, and a handle on the top for better portability. (realistically, of course, this contraption would be awfully heavy, and only the strongest member of our party could carry it around. ah well).
and finally, i had a stroke of inspiration. or maybe just a regular stroke. i though, what if we build up the pressure instead of just releasing it immediately? what if we somehow block the main nozzle for a while, and let it cook? the blast would be much stronger when you finally release it. and so -
the final version took form. i added a sliding attachment to the main nozzle that could block the output for a while (we figured it would be reasonable for it to take a full turn in combat to build up steam pressure), and then release it through one of the nozzles. and as the final stroke, i named this abomination -
"Heated Exchange".
The multi-dimensional vice I designed and modeled for the bottom of my accessible tablet holder. Just need to add some formatting last touches and this will also be all set to 3D-print. Will probs post a more decent screen recording of it later..🛠️😅🤖
And here are the Exes! Salem and Ozpin/Ozma/Oscar's emblems. I added colors signifying Salem's crew below her emblem to help add some more color to it.
