Phew. That was a long and complicated post title. So this piece of work is from one of Submachine fans – Daniel Chaves and I’m letting him talk from now on:

I was thinking of what other classes of movers existed in the subnet. I wanted one that was powerful and versatile. So, I made one.

My plan for the whole room was for it to be machined out of 7075 aluminum, anodized to a custom color (R:82, G:103, B:100, excluding domes, which would function as lightbulb casing). For scale models, I turned to 3D printing. My school happened to have one of those (Dimension uPrint), and my teacher was kind enough to let me print it for free (ABSPlus plastic costs $7/in^3). Attached are images of the printed part, which required minimal post processing (but which happened to be a lot of work) to make the doors work (split the model, dug support out with screwdriver). The left door is very hard to close, so that door isn’t seen closed in the pictures. Not seen is the large “screen” on one of the walls that displays some sort of map, I don’t know which yet, and the light on the ceiling which lights up the whole room, except in the section view. Bonus images: STL file rendered in 3ds Max and interface, section (interior) view.

All I can say is – that is super cool. Thank you Daniel.
