Anybody want to 3d print a submarine?

It's for another contest. but really I just want to make a submarine robot! http://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/2ety9p/makers_tool_works_3d_printing_contest/

Anyways, if anyone has any ideas for things I should add to it, let me know

I am not an expert but that appears to have a not statistically insignificant number of holes in it.

The electronics that controll everything go in the sealed tube at the front. The frame itself is not supposed to be airtight. the holes are for mounting of various and sundry attachments of ill repute.

Stress concentrations on a submersible are no bueno.

rounded weight relief cutouts in low stress areas to lower frame weight in a non pressurized segment of an overstructured ROV are just fine though.

Looks a bit leaky in that picture, and will it have a decent camera? Cause underwater photography is cool and you wouldn't even have to get wet.

What kind of standard armaments will this submersible have? At least surface to air missiles and torpedoes, right?

I'll be disappointed with anything less than sharks-with-lazers.

The electronics, including the camera are basically going to be the exact same as the ones used in the OpenROV package, but with better batteries and different thrusters. http://openrov.com/ That will include a full 1080p HD camera, a lighting package, an on screen display with compass, depth, battery and temperature sensor readouts, and ability to plug it into a surface station and see the video while I drive it around. All of that stuff will be inside the 8" diameter tube sealed in the front except the batteries, a couple of the sensors and the thrusters themselves. The thrusters I will be using are these ones: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/847478159/the-t100-a-game-changing-underwater-thruster?ref=card

A ROV is useless without a serious armament package.I haven't finished all the design work on that, but so far I'm planning at least the following: 1 miniature supercavatating nuclear torpedo launcher with 6 shot repeating magazine, 2 miniature surface to air micromissiles with a .00000000004 kiloton warhead, 2 underwater lasers, a robot death pincher arm, One aquaman brand instashark summoning ultrasonic whistle module, and a retractable anti-squid battleaxe. I was going to try and fit a machine gun on there as well, but they don't work all that well under water apparently.

1080p is kinda tiny for photography, you should look into something better. Smiley: tongue

I always chuckle when movies show people firing large arms at targets under water.

I remember a fun Mythbusters on that. How often do you get to watch people shoot giant guns into a swimming pool?

Well maybe not you per se, but the rest of us.

When I was going through we got to fire a M107 into a swimming pool with ballistic gel at the bottom. The weapon was set about ten feet away from the pool water, and the gel was something like twenty feet below the surface. The round never made it to the gel before basically disintegrating. Now, keep in mind that this is a weapon that throws metal to something like 2,000 meters and makes people hiding behind cars fall over.

I think the Mythbusters figured out that the slower the bullet was fired the better it did underwater, still none that got more than 6 feet or so I think.

Sorry, the gel was ten feet under water, not twenty. Somehow I mathed when I shouldn't have. The total distance was twenty feet between barrel and gel. Still, it didn't make it to the gel. Surface tension and velocity and all that.

There will probably be enough room in the tube for a full on DSLR camera if I really want to go that far. Initially that camera is about all the budget can bear. This robot crap is spendy. Once I have a working chassis I can certainly upgrade it, and I'm planning on enough thruster horsepower to give it an excellent lift capacity for it's size.

Why kill them when you can electrically control their brains, attach lasers to them and then use them as your robot controlled killalasersharks? But the supercavatating microtorpedos would probably do the trick If you had to.

I saw that. It would actually be pretty easy to do if that's the level of accuracy you need. That large of an extruder I personally would have used a square nozzle for, and it would be somewhat expensive to put in all the hydraulics and the solid frame and bearing rods to make it work right, but if I had access to a welder and about $75,000 in materials I could make one that would do that. You would need a concrete pump and associated hose, a 4 ram hydraulic setup with engine (one ram per frame corner) a big *** square frame, bearing surfaces for a carriage, a bunch of really big servos and a computer. I could design one really easily if someone else wants to fund it!

I'll put in a tenner if you get the pointed arches right on the gothic windows. I love that little printed castle, but those windows hurt me in the architecture.

I feel the towers don't offer enough protection for gunners. And a lack of moat is disheartening.

There would have to be a moat to house the nuclear submarine.
