This project is a replica of Fish Bones, Jinx’s shark-themed weapon from the show Arcane. The 3-foot-long 3D printed model will be designed to open its mouth, light up with LED patterns and respond to the detection of a “Hexcore” (represented by a ball). It will also have a button-triggered mechanism that will activate the jaw opening and lighting effects. (See example below of build and lights flickering/breathing)
Ale completed more CAD of device (approximately 65% of the entire design). The next few parts are more complex because it involves the head, articulating mouth, and trigger handle. We've been printing every single day for this week. Pat got their 3D-printing certification on Monday at the Techhub but can't get into the Techhub or Caltech Hall.
We purchased the double-sided mounting tape for connecting our pieces. We need to test out whether we have enough clearance to place the tape or if it strong enough to hold the pieces. We may need to print out additional L brackets or rings to fix into the design. This will let us mount each individual piece to each other because the inside of each part is hollow.
Pat needs to complete the circuitry for the LED strips/rings and inquire about the NFC tags to replace the ultrasonic sensor.
