In addition to playing the Pirate King in Blue Hill Troupe’s The Pirates of Penzance, I assisted with prop fabrication. Collapsible, telescoping binoculars, printed with PrusaSlicer’s new “organic” supports (which look like cool trees), ready for the props department to add their touches. And a whole bunch of gears, since every steampunk rendition of Pirates of Penzance needs them.

The binoculars, prepped to print (the green supports come off after), then printed, collapsed and extended:

If you’re doing steampunk, you need decorative gears. I found a bunch of gear files, scaled them and printed them out. A bunch went on the dinghy, and many more “greeble” gears were printed to be added to costumes and props:

I also printed a “toy wheel”, a mini version of the ship’s wheel:

And for the pirates’ sherry still, I barely contributed: just various functional nozzle adapters.
