Over the last year, Failbetter Games' fictional world of Fallen London has become one of my favorites: besides the excellent writing, there's something about the darkness of the 'Neath that is utterly enchanting. Sunless Sea was my introduction to the setting, and its promotional and main menu art--the silhouette of a buoy in the dark, bobbing gently on pitch-black waves--made for a wonderful project. This model has seven different components. The "buoy_glass" object should be printed using clear resin and left unpainted (at least, if you intend to put a light in it like I did). Most of the components should fit with each other easily, although the cap at the very top kind of just has to rest up there. I should also note that although the bell has a hook, I found that too flimsy to work and ended up just gluing it. I designed this to fit Evan Designs' AA battery holder and pico size LED. My measurements of the base were slightly off when I printed it, so the AA battery holder doesn't quite fit in my base without a visible gap. This should be fixed in the version I uploaded. Of course, you are free to use whatever lights you want, but the hole right under the light is just under 1.8mm in diameter, so bear in mind that you will have to get either the light or its wires through there. Once again, I'd to credit João Paulo for the texture used in the waves; they have a wide selection of free, public domain textures, which can be found at https://3dtextures.me/.
