3D Printed, Fully-Functional Desktop Underground Mine

I finally finished what might be one of the most useless projects in history: A fully functional 3D printed desktop underground mine. The upshot was I learned a lot about 3D design, 3D printing, electronics, programming, and constructing models.

You can watch a video about the project here:

My Prusa MK2S printer worked flawlessly throughout the project. Everything was printed using Hatchbox ABS (generally white which I painted after printing along wiith some black.) The electronics got pretty complicated (at least for me as a rookie), as the project used 4 stepper motors along with various servos, LEDs and a buzzer, requiring lots of programming to get everything to move at the right time. All that's documented in the video.

All elements that would be "man-made" in real life were printed on the Prusa, along with the electrical boxes, cabinet feet, and various cabinet components. Everything else was make of foam, wood, plexiglass, etc.

Enjoy.

For some reason the video link keeps taking me back to my post. I don't know why that is but it's easy enough to type it in or copy it.
