About this model
A generic toy teapot, like a big painted toy, not a copy of any real teapot, product or character. The teapot itself is the model: a fat round pastel mint belly on a white foot ring, widest a third of the way up, with a band of coral polka dots in relief; a thick S-curved spout rises from the lower front to a tip above the shoulder, and a thick round loop handle stands out on the back. On top sits a domed mint lid with a chunky coral onion knob. Inside the belly sits the case with up to four laptop boards, hidden: no board can be seen from outside. The lid is the hatch: lift it off to reach the boards. The air comes in under the foot ring and leaves through three flower-shaped windows in the front of the lid; at night they glow, lit from inside.
Worth knowing
About 10.4 kg of filament with two computers and 12.1 kg with four (roughly 333 to 391 hours on a fast printer), in three colours: pastel mint for the belly, the lid, the spout, the handle, the flange and the spacers; white for the foot ring, the case walls (hidden inside), the roof plate, the inner wall, the window linings and the floor ring; coral for the polka dots and the knob. The spout and the handle are glued from short hollow tube pieces with 1 mm walls: they are decoration, never carry the teapot by them.

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.
