Rick's portal gun

thingiverse

Yet another Rick's Portal Gun from Rick And Morty, which I have not even seen. This is not the most sophisticated build out there, but it's not too hard to print and assemble. A friend designed it in Tinkercad (his first model) and I made it makeable. Print Settings Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 10% Notes: Body: requires a printer with decent bridging support. There will be some droop in the muzzle, but it was minor and we decided it looked cool. There will be a lot of droop in the display cavity; I just cleaned it out with a hobby knife. The "bell" is in two pieces. I printed it in T-Glase (PET), but clear PLA would be nearly as transparent. I printed the cylinder with a single perimeter and no top or bottom. The settings on the top aren't too important; there will be some droop on the underside of the dome, but it doesn't show. Rescale the "ring" and reprint until it fits tightly around the bell cylinder. Post-Printing Glue the two halves of the bell together with cyanoacrylate gel glue (superglue). Glue the ring onto the base carefully, right over the hole for the bell. Lubricate the pin if you can - I used silicone grease. Snap the pin into the base, and the knob onto the pin. Insert the display into the base. Optional easy whizziness: Tape a CR2302 coin cell battery onto a color-changing LED and tape the battery into the floor of the bell cavity. Then push the bell onto the ring.
