Rick's portal gun

thingiverse

I see it! Another Rick's Portal Gun from Rick And Morty, one I've yet to behold in person. While this build may not be the most advanced out there, printing and assembling it isn't exactly rocket science either. A buddy of mine designed it on Tinkercad - his first-ever model, might I add - and I helped him make it 3D-printable. Print Settings: Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 20% Notes: The Body requires a printer with reliable bridging capabilities. Some droop will occur in the muzzle, but we opted for that aesthetic choice anyway. The display cavity has a bit of sag, which I cleaned out using a hobby knife. The "bell" is crafted from two pieces. It was printed with T-Glase (PET), but clear PLA would have nearly matched its transparency level. For the cylinder part, a single perimeter was used along with no top or bottom layer applied. Settings on the top are secondary to what happens beneath; droop is visible around the dome's underside, which I deliberately chose not to fix. Before reprinting, scale the "ring" and make adjustments until it snugly fits around the bell cylinder. When assembling post-print, use cyanoacrylate gel glue (super strong adhesive) to fuse the two halves of the bell together. Be careful placing the ring onto its base over the opening for the bell. Optional but fun detail: Attach a CR2302 coin cell battery to a color-changing LED and insert the battery into the bottom floor of the bell cavity. Next, position the bell directly on top of the ring and make sure they're secure together.
