About this model
A generic toy fishbowl, like a wooden or plastic toy, not a copy of any real product or character. The fishbowl itself is the model: a round water-blue bowl, widest in the middle, standing on a sand-coloured gravel band, that narrows to a neck; above the water line the neck turns pale, and a flared pale lip stands over the flat water surface. A chunky orange fish leaps out of the opening, a second orange fish swims on the front wall with six bubbles rising above it, and two dark green plants stand on the gravel. Inside the bowl sits the case with up to four laptop boards, hidden: no board can be seen from outside. The neck with the lip and the leaping fish is the lid: lift it off to reach the boards. The air comes in under the bowl and leaves through the bubbles.
Worth knowing
About 10.3 kg of filament with two computers and 12.0 kg with four (roughly 329 to 387 hours on a fast printer), in five colours: water blue for the bowl, the lower neck, the water surface, the neck flange and the spacers; pale aqua for the upper neck, the lip, the bubble linings, the inner wall and the back panels; sand for the gravel band, the case walls (hidden inside) and the floor ring; orange for both fish; dark green for the plants and the fish eyes.

Budget black PETG.
Drives: every board keeps the drive its laptop came with (system only), so there is nothing to buy. A board bought without one needs a 256 GB M.2 2280 drive (approx. €56). Optional, not in the total: one shared disk of 1 TB or more for the render manager's shared folder, on one laptop board, in its own M.2 slot, or in a USB case (approx. €19) on the base floor. Reuse an old one, or buy a 1 TB M.2 2280 drive for approx. €136–146. Drive prices are approximate (October 2026): check before buying.
