Fortnite: Dragonfire

FORTNITE: DRAGONFIRE Fortnite enthusiasts Randy Geerts and Neel Boone designed a project in Technopolis, a Belgian science center. Their goal was to create a real-life gun inspired by the popular Fortnite game that players could use to experience the game firsthand. The result is an impressive wooden MDF model built with a lasercutter and an arduino leonardo as its brain. Check out their YouTube link to see it in action. EXTRA INFORMATION: - Geerts and Boone designed the model in millimeter precision. - The model is made from 3mm thick MDF glued together using wood glue. - In the included PDF, you'll find step-by-step instructions on how to assemble the layers. Begin by connecting the '0' part with the '1' part, followed by the '2' part, and so on for the first half of the gun. For the second half, simply mirror these steps. - You will need to laser cut (dxf) or (svg) files twice to create both halves of the model. The '0' part only needs to be laser cut once. - To complete the model, use the provided photos as a reference for adding intricate details. - Geerts and Boone used a milling machine to craft the muzzle, but you can easily replace it with a piece of MDF that's sanded into a cylindrical shape. - By sanding down sharp edges and corners, your finished model will have a sleek, professional appearance. *** We will add the arduino parts list and code in due course.
