Tollan Stargate inspired Infinity Mirror

thingiverse

This is an infinity mirror styled after the Stargate built by Tollan race, the one that appears in a single scene out of the entire show. The gate is less geometrically complex than the standard gate, making it look more like an abstract art piece to those not familiar with the show. The gate is built upon an off-the-shelf wall mirror I found at a local homeware store. It uses a WS2812 strip with an IR controller to do all the effects. For the two-way mirror side, I got some window film online and had some 3mm acrylic lasercut to match the mirror's diameter. To help with modeling this, I used David Gian-Cursio's model for initial reference, taking design liberties where necessary for 3D printing: https://www.gian-cursio.net/2006/01/stargate-model-showcase/ **Here's a list of parts used to make it:** - Mirror: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8265823 - LED Controller: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272910838998 (I have the IR version) - Window Film: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BS7YGD6 - Power supply: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/5v-3a-barrel-jack-power-supply - 9x M2.5x12 machine screws: http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/hardware/nuts-bolts/nut-bolt-m2.5-12 - 9x M2.5x6 machine screws: http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/hardware/nuts-bolts/nut-bolt-m25-6 - 18x 3x20mm self-tapping screws **Printing the gate needs the following numbers of parts:** - 9x GateFrontSegment - 9x GateChevron - 9x Diffuser Segment - 9x Under Segment - 8x Oriented_GateRearSegment - 1x Oriented_GateRearSegment_Electronics - 1x GateElectronicsLid - 1x GateIRCover Also included is an optional stand for displaying the gate vertically without needing to attach it to the wall. It should still be resting against a wall as it is somewhat back heavy. I ended up having a lot of issues applying the window film to the acrylic, and even after four attempts ended up with bits of dust being visible (as you can see in the images). If you are going to do this, I suggest practicing on a smaller acrylic piece first.
