Marine Mayhem: The Balancing Game

This is Marine Mayhem, where you play as a port crane, tasked with stacking shipping containers. This may sound like any other game of this category, but there's a twist: you can't control the crane all alone. You'll need at least one friend, as there are THREE strings and the vacuum graber, and you've only got two hands!

Print Guides

• Any Filament will do!(okay maybe avoid ABS and other filaments with heavy desire to curl)

• Printer with at least 180mm on at least one axis

• Use part cooling: some of the models feature bridges and overhangs!

• NO SUPPORTS NEEDED(you can use them for better quality if your printer lacks part cooling fan and/or you want ot print this in nylon for some reason, but I designed every part to not need them)

ASSEMBLY GUIDE:

A wise man once said: "Just look at the picture and assemble it the same, bro". Joking aside, I've put the whole assembly as a step file, so you can use that as a manual, if something's not obvious. You can use as many horizontal and vertical beams as you want! If the filament you use isn't strong enough, horizontal beams feature cut holes for M3(or 1/8") threaded rod to go through. 

All screws and nuts used are M4, they're named respectively in the assembly file. Good luck!

ADDITIONAL STUFF:

• A piece of PTFE tube from a 3d printer

• Some string 

• A 8mm silicone tube to use as a vacuum hose

• A small membrane pump to create vacuum(or just use a syringe or even your own lungs)

• An M16 nut to use as a weight in the effector

• Some glue, if the tolerances are too generous for your printer

Happy playing!

P.s. Sadly I don't have enough time to print the whole game(I've modeled it in two nights lol), so I can only post the screenshots from CAD. Also, all model files are included, I tried to make them at least somewhat modifyable. I'll come up with a better name I promise :D
