Portal Fan Shares Impressive 3D Printed Portal Gun Replica

A Portal fan uses a 3D printer to manufacture their own highly detailed replica of the portal gun from Valve's iconic sci-fi puzzle game.
For such a short game, the first Portal game was stocked full of iconic imagery and designs that fans have become obsessed with. The clean, pseudo-corporate sci-fi aesthetic of the game was so unlike what gamers were used to at the time that the iconography of Portal, things like main character Chell’s orange jumpsuit or the titular portal gun, are still highly desired items for cosplayers and collectors.
Portal was released in 2007 by Valve as part of the Orange Box collection of games that included Team Fortress 2 and Half Life 2. Portal was essentially a stocking filler, a way of apologizing for the long delay on the real prize at the time in the Orange Box, Half Life 2: Episode 2. It was a pretty big surprise then when Portal exploded in popularity, getting re-released individually and its own dedicated sequel, Portal 2, in 2011, while Half-life 3 remains elusive for now, apart from Half-life: Alyx in 2020.

Since the game's release there has been no shortage of enterprising Portal fans creating art or replicating their own items inspired by the games. Valve itself did release a limited run of portal gun prop replicas, but they’re hard to get and wear a hefty price tag when they are available, so fans like Reddit user u/The_Kid_Pyro have had to search out other ways to get their own portal gun.
I 3D printed a portal gun! from gaming
With the use of 3D printing, this Reddit user was able to create with detailed accuracy to the game's data all the components of the portal gun. From there it’s just assembly, painting and rigging the lights. 3D printing has exploded in popularity over the past few years. The availability of affordable, quality personal use 3D printers are the dream of pop-culture replicators and engineers alike.
Portal as a series has really been able to extend itself to the edges of the gaming sphere; even non-gamers can recognize elements of the games distinct style, or the game's humor mixed with its surprisingly oppressive atmosphere.
Its nature as a puzzle game with a brilliant central gimmick rather than a shooter like the other games in Valve’s repertoire makes it far more accessible and unique.
The true measure of how iconic the portal gun has become in pop culture can be seen not only in how often and how lovingly it is recreated by fans, but by how often it appears in “if you could have any item from a video game what would it be?” conversations, where it holds its own against master swords and power armor.
Portal is available on PC, PS3, Switch, and Xbox 360.

Portal gun
Portable Portal Device Exterior
Portable Portal Device Handheld Portal Device , slang.
portal gun, portalgan, portalgun, ASHPD ) is a fictional device from the computer game , which allow instantaneous movement of physical objects and visual communication. The full name of the device is Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device thanks to which it received the abbreviation ASHPD . The first two letters of the abbreviation ASHPD indicate the manufacturer - Portal Nature Research Laboratory ( Aperture Science) ).
There have been rumors that the abbreviation for portal device ASHPD and the initials of the protagonist Half-Life: Opposing Force Adrian Shepard (English A drian SH e P har D ) is no coincidence. However, Valve denied this theory, saying that they themselves were very surprised by this coincidence. At the same time, in the game you can find keyboards on which some buttons are highlighted in orange. If you put the letters together and put them in the correct order, you get Adrian Shephard.
Game characteristics
The Handheld Portal Creator is the main tool of the Portal game, which is used to solve puzzles throughout the game. The device opens portals on flat solid immovable surfaces. Portals have the shape of an ellipse, large enough for a person to pass through and carry hand luggage. At the same time, no more than two portals can be opened, which differ in color - blue and orange.
Visually, the device fires a beam of orange or blue curves, which, reaching the surface, forms a portal of the corresponding color. When you open a new portal, previously opened, the same color is closed. A portal of one color can be opened "on top" of another, of the same color, while the previous portal will change its position, while a portal of a different color must be opened to the side. It is also impossible to open a portal through another portal.
In addition, a simplified version of the Zero-Level Energy Field Manipulator is built into the Handheld Portal Creator.
which allows it to carry light weight items such as Cargo Cubes and automatic turrets .
Opening portals is tied to mouse buttons (default): left mouse button opens a blue portal, right mouse button - orange. Manipulations with objects are carried out using the key E (lat.).
Initially, the player is given a portal gun capable of opening only one portal - blue, while the location of the orange portal is determined by the task. In the middle of the game, the player is given the full version of the portal gun.
There are restrictions on the applicability of the portal device. Portals cannot be opened on curved, smooth or moving surfaces. Also portals cannot be opened on liquids.

It all started with Portal 2, which a friend convinced me to play. I'm not a fan of games, but I liked this game because you have to think in it. In the end, after beating the game, I had one thought in my head: I have to do this!
I started with research. I have looked at other portal gun articles and a couple of blogs.
But another problem has arisen: how to create a worthy model of a portal gun without talent, without tools? Of course, 3D printing.
Let's see how I did it.
Step 1: Where can I get the 3D model?
I don't know how to create 3D models, but my friend does it quite well.
After my searches on the Internet, I found several models of the portal gun. The models were not entirely accurate. I had to improve them a little, because I think that the main thing in cosplay is accuracy.
Step 2: Printing the details
Well, there is another problem. I don't have a 3D printer. But there are firms involved in 3D printing.
I placed an order, sent them a 3D model, and in a couple of weeks I had a lot of parts printed on white flexible plastic.
Step 3: Finishing printed parts
The material on which the parts were printed was a white porous plastic, and it was decided to treat it with putty.
After applying a layer, sanding, then again a small layer of putty and sanding again.
In some places the plastic was very thin, so I had to reinforce it with epoxy, and light putty on top.
After the putty has dried, the parts must be painted.
Step 4: Body
It was decided to make part of the cannon from PVC water pipes.
I had to measure everything for a long time, saw, grind and grind again. A plug was installed at the end of the pipe, to which my friend attached a kitchen handle for convenience.
All parts used in this step have been painted.
Step 5: LED Housing
Plexiglas tubes were perfect for the task. I had to buy a scattering film and fix it inside the pipe with glue. I tried sanding the inside of the tube with sandpaper, but there were a lot of scratches and poor dispersion.
Step 6: Electronics
Another problem.
I am not an electrician.
A couple of calls to a friend and a couple of visits to an electronics shop increased my knowledge.
Since the gun has several colors, I decided to make a circle of plastic where I will insert the LEDs. But I got spaghetti.
Fortunately, a friend came to my rescue. Well, at least I installed the speaker myself (yes, it will be a gun with sound).
Step 7: Fixing parts
A new question has arisen: how to securely fasten the parts together.
My friend came up with the idea for the fastener (which you can see in the photo). There are 2 pipes (the first with a slightly larger diameter, the second with a slightly smaller diameter), one of which enters the other.
The last thing that had to be done was the wires that come from the "claws". Thick wire and heat shrink were used.
Step 8: Final
Everything turned out very well.
I have to thank my friend.
Nothing would have happened without him.
Now I have to do something even cooler. Time to go see what my friend is playing.
If we talk about the portal gun, then many gamers immediately have an association with the game "Portal". And it is no coincidence, because it is Portal that is the very primary source, thanks to which this device appeared.
Straight from the Portal Nature Research Lab
The place above is also known by its acronym ASHPD, which is the full name for Portal Ghana. What is this type of device? If you try to explain in a simple and understandable language, then the portal gun is directly related to the process of instantaneous movement of physical objects and to the establishment of a visual connection.
This is the most important thing that the main character of Portal uses. It is applied throughout the gameplay, in those moments when it is necessary to solve puzzles. Thanks to the cannon, you can open a portal on any flat, solid and immovable surface.
As for the exceptions, this is any liquid, something curved, smooth and in motion. Once spawned, they take on the shape of an ellipse and are capable of passing human-sized objects through them. You cannot open a third portal, there can only be two of them at the same time. One of them, as a rule, is highlighted in blue, and the second - in orange.
About game characteristics
When using the device, the player sees an orange or blue semblance of a beam. When it reaches the surface it was aimed at, a portal appears at the point of contact. Color matching.
By the way, if we originally had a blue portal, then we won't be able to duplicate it. As a result, after the appearance of the copy, the old one will simply disappear. Thus, to leave the blue portal, we will have to make an orange one.
The capabilities of the device are not limited to this. The fact is that a special manipulator is placed in the portal gun, which is aimed at the operation of an energy field with a zero level.
Thanks to him, it becomes possible to carry small items, he will cope with cargo cubes or automatic turrets.
The appearance of each portal is tied to a specific mouse button, so the left one is responsible for blue, and the right one for orange. If there is a need to move the item, then in this case the "E" key should be used.
At the very beginning of the gameplay, the player can only open portals of one color - blue. The device starts to work in full force only in the middle of the passage.
Portal gun mods
It's no secret that many popular devices sooner or later find their way into other projects and franchises. As for the portal gun, modifications with its participation have affected many games, among which appeared "Terraria", "Minecraft", "GTA 5" and others. Of course, all the credit belongs to talented users who are driven by the desire to diversify familiar game worlds.
Many mods include additional objects. For example, familiar turrets and various other items also appear along with portals.
Some versions of the modifications add multi-colored gels that were in the second part of the "Portal".
This is not the first time I have been visited by the thought - why do the military need a portal gun? And if something is needed - how rational is its production? How much does it cost? What are the maximum possibilities? What the hell was Glados and all those cameras for?
Oddly enough, there are answers to some questions. And if there are none, there are hypotheses. So what do we have? The contract with the US military for the development of was concluded in 1981 when the Red Menace was still in existence. Along with the arms race. Of course, something vigorous was needed to show that capitalism is still cooler. The question rests only on the price.
The cost of this study is not exactly known. The only thing GLaDOS reports - "Guided by an optional test protocol item, we are pleased to tell you an interesting fact: the device now costs more than the annual income and internal organs of all residents in the city.
" It is difficult to say what exactly is meant - whether the cost of of the device itself , or the price of studies coming before this... Is she just lying - because a few cameras before this phrase, she says “In accordance with the testing protocol, from now on we stop telling the truth. Three. Two. One".
In one of the company's financial statements, almost a million dollars went to a certain INTUB-XLG
But still, let's assume that this is true. The cost of all human organs combined is about 300 thousand dollars . I think, with such numbers, I can not take into account the annual income. The Research Center is located somewhere in the forest, so the nearest city is probably not very large. Let's take the number "50 thousand" from the bulldozer. Simple calculations on the calculator give a figure of 150 billion dollars . Too much. But if the population of the city is less than 10 thousand, the price decreases already to 30 billion , and this is a business conversation.
Morality? If necessary, the military really could issue money for development.
But what is functional of this thing? At this point, it is worth paying attention to the fact that portals do not appear thanks to the cannon. Here you can give many theories, I will point out the most probable in my opinion.
Tighten your memory and remember that at the very beginning of the game you do not have guns. But there are portals. And they change on their own. I think that each portal “phonites” with a certain element, which combines with the opposite element and this gives the reaction of the portal. Rave? I guess, yes. But how else to explain the size of the gun and the fact that portals of different colors (different elements) and only one can exist within the room? There is an alternative. Portals are "tied" to a certain energy generator. It is quite obvious that in this case it is rather small sizes if it fits in a cannon. Accordingly, by slightly changing the signal itself, as well as its strength, in theory it is possible to transmit objects over decent distances if there is no interference.
And they will.

Portal gun: composition, cost, rationality
Portal gun, front view. Do not touch the working end of the device
In principle, there is one semi-fantastic use case - to create a portal on Earth, and later build a gateway, say, on Mars. And make a second portal there. Possible problems: range and keep in touch .
With a range, everything is simple - a projectile can fly very far, and given the power required for this, you can create a clot of such force that it will even reach Pluto. But how to connect them?
There are options. A standard block meter by meter is taken, a portal is created on it. Along with this, the portal is created in the laboratory X. In this case, a wonderful paradox arises - the portals are tightly connected. Those. until one of the portals is destroyed (or the energy block, if we mean the existence of it), they will not disconnect! How is this possible? It's very simple - the "source" is on Earth next to the blue portal.
while feeding it. However, the signal passes through the blue portal and ends up at location Y, where the orange portal is located.
Portal gun: composition, cost, rationality
Portal gun: composition, cost, rationality
Portal gun, side view. In theory, this is what it looks like when turned off.
But the use of this thing in space, although very interesting, it has a more squat version of the action. This is the dream of any saboteur! Again, a certain “block” is created, is quite easy to transport even by one or two people. Optional, durable. And he takes off with the saboteurs behind enemy lines. How do you like this - an army to anywhere in the world - in seconds ?! Why are there flights into space - the Red Threat can be conquered on the spot, without much effort. Open a portal on Red Square? No problem!
In addition to military use, with mass production and provided that the portals do not "overlap" each other, you can think about a household device.
