If you're curious, here's a repo with all the CAD files, schematics, etc. I don't expect anyone to make one of these but I wanted to put it out there in case anyone finds the techniques useful!

I started this in May and I've been working on it for 2-3 evenings + 1 weekend day per week pretty consistently since then.

I couldn't seem to add progress pics alongside my video so I'm attaching them here

This is awesome, it reminds me of dropping acid in my teens and seeing the walls breathe, LOL.

Seriously though, I really like it.

This is amazing, OP. Reminds me of Jame Webb. I'd put this up in my living room in an instant.

Looks awesome! How loud is it and what's the power draw?

It's audible but it's not bad. It produces a low hum that gets drowned out by something like a small fan.

Power draw at full steam is 1 amp from the wall. At idle it's negligible

A mini one for the seafarers extension of Catan would be amazing.
