Stargate with dialing effects

thingiverse

This design is an exact replica of the SGC's Stargate and its ramp, simplified to fit smaller printers while remaining remarkably screen-accurate. The gate itself has a diameter of 117mm(4.6") and has been successfully scaled up to 250mm. I provide the 123D files for my design if you want to modify it - for instance, scaling the stepper motor hole in the gear if you wish to print a larger version. Assembly: Please use the exploded views I provided as reference; it is extremely straightforward. Electronics: At present, I have not written instructions regarding electronics, but I made a part list and include the Arduino sketch if you're willing to attempt it yourself. Note: if you're printing a bigger/thicker version, you could use regular LEDs instead of surface mount LEDs. Parts: - 7 red LEDs - 4 white LEDs - 2 or more blue LEDs - ULN2803 (or equivalent) - 28YBJ-48 stepper motor - Any Arduino that fits in the base - Momentary switch - 28 awg or smaller wire
