I know what this is...
This is an espresso machine.
No, no wait. It's a snow cone maker.
Is it a water heater?
UB-1?

Suggestion for next 3D print, how about the inside of a U boat's conning tower. I have seen very few photos or drawings of the internal layout of it.Make it simple, make strong, make it work!Comment

I'm on holiday...no access to model building equipment. But I brought my laptop, so I can draw. Worked some more on the torpedo tubes. Stripped my XXIII tubes down, as the Vesikko's ones didn't have lots of the additional gear of the later boats. Between the upper tow tubes was a gangway with an open section. I guess it was used to access the torpedo setting equipment of the upper and the lower tubes. A support beam connected the upper tubes to the lower tube....I guess for stabilization reasons. The muzzle doors were actuated, like on the other german boats, via rotating rods. The lateral offset between the rod on the tube and the rod running to the muzzle door was generated by gear.

With the torpedo room just needing detail work, I started to lay out the foundations of the control room and the galley. The control room was tiny and had, just like the XXIII, a radio room on the starboard side. Below the floor plates was a pressure tight regulating tank. The galley was tiny an located in a 2 meter diameter pressure hull with exterior frames that was suspended in ballast tank II.
