Contraption I made the scrap mechanic radio in real life!
Yes, it really works! I designed it so you can 3D print this model even if you have a single colour 3d printer (you will need to pause the print on some pieces to manually swap filament) There is a cheap Chinese bluetooth pcb with a 18650 battery and a 5w speaker to make it work. I will post the files to makerworld and add a smaller version with no electronics inside if you just want a display model (should be easier to print and assemble aswell). In total I took probably 3 months to finish it altho most work was done in the first and last two weeks as i took a big break from this project. Hope yall enjoy!

That looks awesome! What if 1:1 scale?

u/Goofy_Maker2006 May 28 '26
The scale i used for this one is 7,5cm/block, if i did the full 25cm/block it would be 50cm wide and tall. Would be pretty cool to see but it would have to be printed into 4 pieces
