MegaBong is a parody of Megatron. His alt mode is a “water pipe”, (bong). This design is simple, compared to my 300ZX, AToyota Supra, Cybertruck and the other 90’s import sport cars. After downloading several ball joint files, and not being happy with the loose tension, I designed my own ball joints, for FDM printing. This is my first FDM design, since I only have resin printers. My ball joints have the proper tight tension to make my model stand on its own, and hold the weight of the model, much better than those ball joints I downloaded. This design was printed on a Bambi Lab P1S. After transforming this model 25 times, it still has tight tension, so I’m happy with my ball joint design.
As for this design, I only use the basic sketch tool to make the parts, keeping things simple, concept I have cataracts, and mostly blind, using my right eye, with the iPad 6 inches from my face. Being blond makes designing almost impossible, but I still can make the things I see in my mind.

Well, okay. But function matters too. Does it work as a bong?
This is just a model, but I did make a magnetic attachment that holds a vale cartridge, so it doesn’t get resin build up. I designed a separate water container base, that keep the model safe from bong resin. Everybody that smokes weed knows that a bong will get resin buildup inside, so it would a wasteful design, to make the model a functional bong, because the robot is inside the bong body, and a resin covered robot is not a good idea, your hands would be covered in resin. LOL!
