I made a ridiculous Glowing Wall Mount for my OpenROV Trident!

Posted on October 26, 2018 By Andrew Thaler 1 Comment on I made a ridiculous Glowing Wall Mount for my OpenROV Trident!
Open Science

Because OpenROV Trident is a work of art and should be displayed as such when not on deployment. This was my first big design project using the Glowforge and integrating LED strips

If you have a Trident, you can download the plans and bill of materials right here: OpenROV Trident Glowing Wall Mount.

More importantly, if you don’t have a Trident, allow me to direct you to the SEE Initiative. OpenROV and National Geographic are giving away 1000 free Tridents to scientists, educators, and explorers. Apply today and let’s have an adventure together!
