It was actually very low effort! There are a number of image to STL converters. I used this one: https://imagetostl.com/

Like you can see it’ll flub some stuff. I would have been better off filling in the areas of text and doing the emboss manually myself, but I just wanted to hit print. 2% infill, I think it was like 2.5g of filament and 20mins.

It’s fun to screw around with that process. I’m tweaking one of my friends cabin to use to make a mold. My goal is cast concrete or something similar so I can pound some thin copper around it, and be left with a cool wall decoration.

You don’t know me. Everything I’ve ever printed was critical.

Literally why I got mine. If you’re losing motivation use 3d builder. Use blenders clay tug and pull function to make something hideous.

I’m only going to be a pedant because that’s sort of the point of these conversations, that’s not a bad interpretation and I appreciate you posting it.

Edit re-reading your answer we might be saying the same thing. Leaving incase this version lights someone’s bulb

BUT, it’s not so much that it’s “distributed” as that, so long as the boat floats, there will be a mass of water displaced exactly equal to the mass of the boat. In this case it’s displaced off the bridge (off either end). There is zero force being applied up or downstream (except during the initial transition). That’s the fun thing about incomprehensible fluids, every infinitely small point at the bottom of a water colum ONLY has the force of the column above it acting on it. A pressure gage will read the same for a square mm or square m.

Spot on with the bowl though. The displaced water can’t leave the system in that case so the masses add.

Heres the action lab video BTW! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SUq_tM3yGTM&pp=ygUKQWN0aW9uIGxhYg%3D%3D

Here’s a fun fact action lab pointed out: setting aside wind, etc, the load the bridge has to be designed for is only the water that fills it.

That bridge will have the same force on it from a tanker or a kyaker.
