Fallout 4 Mini Nuke Bluetooth Speaker and RGBW Nightlight by Dhardrian

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This is a 3D Printable model of a Fallout 4 Mini Nuke which has provision for a Bluetooth speaker and RGBW lighting in a translucent top that can be used as a nightlight or just as a display piece.
Re-Mix Notes
The Fallout 4 Mini Nuke Storage Box by Starscream83 was used as a starting point for this project. Starscream83 kindly provided the original solid files for his model, which made editing a far simpler task.

The top may be printed with transparent red filament if you wish to be somewhat accurate to the game (obviously the mini nuke in the game doesn't have RGBW lighting and is therefore not transparent). I opted to print one in transparent red PETG and another in transparent clear PETG. Since the lighting is RGBW, if you print in the red you will lose all the color detail and the result will be all different shades of red. The transparent clear can obviously show all the color variation possible.
Printing notes
Print 4 copies of the fin.
Supports are required for the top, main body, fin, and yellow ring. The 3MF files contain support enforcers for the areas of concern. The top is printed with Archimedean chords in order to transmit as much light as possible from the Neopixel jewel to the surface of the print. The hinge and hinge cap were printed with 100% infill to ensure adequate strength.
Filaments Used
Any PLA or PETG can be used for all the parts other than the top, as they will likely be painted. If you choose not to paint, then you can use the following:
3D Solutech Camo Green PLA:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BN8H2LQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Amazon Basics Yellow PETG:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T1QD5WW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Note: Since I did paint, I did not order a solid red filament for doing the fins. I printed with the camo green PLA.
The Solutech Merlot red PLA would be a good choice if you don't want to paint:https://www.amazon.com/3D-Solutech-Filament-Dimensional-Accuracy/dp/B07BN986CN/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=dark+red+PLA&qid=1615962989&sr=8-3
