Posable Portal Turret

thingiverse

Everyone's favorite turret from the Portal game franchise. Modelled as closely to the original as I could, while optimizing for printing. Arms open & close. Attach legs with sturdy, solid core wire (I pulled the black wire out of some standard romex I had laying around). Tolerances added for filament printers. ## My print settings black-parts.stl - .2mm (or better) - 15% infill - no supports - no bed adhesion Heads-up: this will be a bit of a stringing torture test. Use a lighter to melt away strings. white-parts.stl - .2mm (or better) - 100% infill - no supports - no bed adhesion white-raft.stl - .2mm (or better) - 100% infill - tree or regular supports - raft red-eye.stl - .2mm (or better) - 100% infill - no support or bed adhesion ## Assembly Super glue the halfs of the white arm covers together, and the halfs of the black inner gun pods together to make single pieces. Insert the pin through one gun pod, body, and then other gun pod. If the pin won't slide through, you may need to drill the holes slightly or adjust tolerances. Use the small washer to secure the other end of the pin. Glue washer in place. Super glue white arm covers to the gun pods, making sure they line up well Super glue black legs into white leg pieces Grab a piece of 16 gauge house wiring. Pull out the black covered wire and snip 3 pieces. Insert into the legs and bottom of the body, and add drops of super glue. Cut a short piece of black filament and glue as the antennae. Push eye into place, glue if needed. The cake is a lie
