Whoa! That’s detailed! And great contrast too.

[Wombley]

Ok, imma need more details on this photo.

[insomniac_designer]

Haha, it’s a 1:8 scale arcade cabinet of a SEGA arcade game called Virtua Fighter that I designed and modeled. Excluding the LCD screen and internal electronics, everything was printed on the U1, including the cabinet artwork with the help of a program called Hueforge. The arcade itself turns on and will display the game running in its “attract mode” with sound. It’s going to be a part of a Virtua Fighter diorama I’m working on. Im going to try to have a YouTube video made within a week showing myself making it on the U1 (and a few things on the Artisan too big for the U1). Here’s another photo of the arcade cabinet, and a screenshot of me planning out the diorama in Fusion 360.

[Wombley]

That design is sick, mate! Is it uploaded anywhere?

[insomniac_designer]

Thanks, glad you think so! No, I haven’t uploaded it anywhere. If I did I’d want to change and improve a few things, the models are good enough for my purposes of creating video content and photos, but I took some short cuts here and there that I’d want to remedy first before I’d want other people printing it. For example the inside of the arcade is a rats nest of wires and with no mounting points for any of the electronic components, it’s just hot glued

[Wombley]

Relatable, ha!

[insomniac_designer]

I have an idea to make like 30 to 40 arcade machines in a large scale diorama of an arcade establishment, with each machine actually running a demo/video of their specific game. I’d even have neon/black lights, glow in the dark carpet, a prize counter, the works. Lol. Ideally I would want to visit my local arcade and 3D scan a bunch of arcade cabinets to be as authentic as possible. I could make a lot of video content working on this mega project.

But it’s just pie in the sky dreaming for now, I can’t afford a 3D scanner that would be good enough to be able to scan large objects like that (I think those are typically in the $2k range and up). Plus the cost of 30+ LCD screens, Raspberry Pis, filament and you can start to see the costs going up. I think I’ll need some sponsors haha.

@nweolu @insomniac_designer Thank you for sharing such amazing works! Our “Showcase” has truly become a showcase now!

Thanks so far. These high speed showcases don’t mean much to me, Yes, the print looks nice, but I guess it would be good to see the printer in action in real speed. Thanks

[CadeFoster]

I will have to try to print one for my grandkids, they get the first prints of anything i do for them to keep from Pa.

[CadeFoster]

There is Wombley whom I have chatted with on discord, very talented person, very knowledgeable of this U1 from all he has demonstrated. Glad you chose someone like him to be a tester.

[Sherry]

Yes, thank you so much! We truly appreciate your support and kind words.

[Wombley]

Yoooo, Cade! Welcome to the forum!
