Portal Gun with Arduino Nano Mount

thingiverse

This is a remix of Intentional3D's excellent Portal Gun: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1100601 Video of remix in action: https://youtu.be/80xivC-9lMo I modified to fit an Arduino Nano using emccarron's nano mounting base and added mounts for the Adafruit 7 Segment display, with the original mounting still available as well. I also split the handle from the base so each could be printed on a 200 x 200 bed separately and then glued together. To alleviate warping if printed in solid ABS, I've affixed tabs to the corners of the base and top. Finally, I've counter-sunk the top screw holes for beveled machine screws. My version is powered by dual li-poly cells via a mini dc-dc converter module set to 5V. The Nano program is my own original work due to the different display, arduino, and rotary encoder used. I haven't decided whether to provide the source code because I would also have to provide schematics for wiring, which would bring out the electronics and SE geeks to "correct" my evil DIY methods. I kind of think that a major part of the enjoyment for these kinds of things is the innovation to figure out things for yourself and to customize for your own idea of how it should work. Here's a list of the components used for this particular build: Arduino Nano: I used a clone that I don't even think is V3, so probably any Nano will work as long as the pins are standard, which I'd think they'd all be.
