Hey Folks!
Just wanted to share a build I just finished and am quite proud of. It's a custom Godzilla diorama, with built-in electronics.
I 3D Printed Godzilla from an amazing file by Chaos Core Tech (available at Godzilla! No Supports!) on my SLA printer in a clear resin, sliced completely hollow, and then once printed inserted a neopixel strip along his spine.
I also inserted a brass tube from his mouth, which allowed me to hook up a vape cartridge and a air pump. All of this connects to an Arduino, a relay, a battery and a button. Hitting the button triggers lightning to travel up his spine, then peaks with a 5 second blast of white smoke from his mouth.
The base is a custom design by myself printed in PETG. Covered in bicarb soda and superglue for terrain, and then an epoxy pour for water. Waves simulated with with silicon products brushed on.
The finished project stands about 25cm tall. The ocean, the model and the effects all tie together really well. A great project that I learned a heap from!
I'll be making my Arduino code, the schematics, custom base STL and the parts list available online once I publish the build video on Youtube in coming weeks.
Cheers!
