I modeled the WOPR computer from WarGames, came out nicely. I snuck the MakerGear logo into the photos too. S3D's selective supports really made this an easy print.

WOPR from WarGames
Re: WOPR from WarGames
Great job! (Loved that movie too!)
Re: WOPR from WarGames
Thanks. I remembered that I had an Arduino laying around with an LED array on it, so I stuffed it inside. It still had a sketch loaded that would animate a double-helix which gives a pretty reasonable lighting pattern when viewed through the holes of the model and with no effort at all. Wife suggested we hang it on the tree for Xmas. Geek paradise.
Here it is blinking.

Re: WOPR from WarGames
Oh man - that looks just like the real thing! (That belongs on the mantle year-round!)
Re: WOPR from WarGames
It's been living on my desk plugged into a USB hub attached to my computer, so when the computer is on, the WOPR is too.
