No: It's all quite silly - There is no 'print to carbon fibre' button either!

There is no aerodynamics, and air buoyancy only works straight up (so lighter than air things move the wrong way in accelerating chambers).

Also the water is very compressable, making using it for hydrostatics (my original idea) not much good.

It may not be accurate and a bit childish but I was having fun making odd boat shapes and dropping blocks in till they sank.

I was thinking it would be possible to do an animation demonstrating mechanical advantage through a cascade of blocks.

Fab! Chains are scaled by the view you have, so you can make a small one by zooming right in.

Even complex systems can be simulated (Attention T foil system designers).

The chains are disappointingly stretchy and the water is disappointingly compressible!
