Still needs some design corrections because I just didn't know how to properly do 3D print and industrial design but it works!

This looks so cool! Like the nuclear launch suitcase XD

The nuclear football is not a computer.

It contains the codes and procedures to order a strike, but it is not a computer.

According to sources from within the white house, in the 1980s it contained four items:

  • A black book of retaliatory options
  • A book listing classified site locations
  • A manilla folder with eight or ten pages staples together giving a discription of the procedures for the Emergency Alert System
  • A card with authentication codes

There is a small antenna protruding near the handle of the briefcase, which some believe means that there is communications equipment inside the case as well.

.....

I mean, yeah, the computer looks really cool!
