Every boy dreamt of owning one of these in my generation.
Here is a collector's item. Hergé’s famous shark submarine from Red Rackham’s Treasure, first published in 1944.
This design is so cool that I felt it should be reposted on Printables. A big thank you goes out to the originator: https://www.thingiverse.com/Kirouac/designs
Notes from the Designer:
I have already oriented parts in the best possible way for printing. But that said, everyone should look at it according to their printer and their intentions. Some parts will require some type of support or another, and other parts will require no support at all, depending of your printer. Also, I offer the files for the top and bottom sections either complete or in 2 parts; it's up to you to see what you prefer for printing. I personally printed mine at 120%, (120mm X 70mm X 218mm) and if your printer has a limited print resolution, I invite you to do the same. You will need for assembly, some glue according to your type of filament, putty epoxy, sandpaper, and perhaps, depending on your skill and habits, a soldering iron. Several adjustments will certainly be necessary, including sanding the part of the fins that fits into the shark. Depending on your printer, it may be a little tight. Do not force anything; sand and adjust so that all the parts fit securely into each other. The assembly is meticulous work.
I also offer in my files a mold for the glass. This is a bit complex but very achievable. The video below shows you how to do this.
It is better to be two, but you can do it alone. You will need a heat gun and a transparent piece of plastic, like a 2 L soft drink bottle or a plastic packaging large enough to wrap the mold. One of you has to hold the plastic at the ends securely with both hands. The other must hold the mold with pliers with one hand and, with the other hand, heat the plastic. When the plastic is soft enough, you have to push the mold into the film and make sure it is pushed well so that the mold is coated evenly and everywhere without creases. ..Several tests will probably be necessary, but you will be OK!! ;)
