Chell Portal Bookshelf Header

thingiverse

Thanks to Pink_Iguanas, creating my own Portal-themed bookshelf was a seamless process. Check out the finished product! The 3D mesh has been fixed - I had issues with Pink_Iguanas' model not being a closed manifold in Slic3r - and now it prints smoothly on both Slic3r and Cura. This impressive bookshelf consists of three objects: Chell, the iconic Portal character; a sturdy frame that mounts securely onto your bookshelf; and a wavy portal that adds a touch of whimsy. While the stitching between the portal and the frame is still rough around the edges, it blends in beautifully after painting. Next up, I'll be creating the matching header for the other side, where Chell enters an orange portal - stay tuned! The 3D file has already been released, and once it's printed, you can expect to see some amazing photos.
