Portal 2 Button

(Files are not available for this project at this time)

This is the Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button from my second favorite game of all time Portal.  I spent a ridiculous amount of time designing this in Solidworks. It is about 99% accurate to the in game model. I actually took painstaking measurements from the in game models to recreate this in CAD to be printable. I made ever so slight changes to some of the design just to make printing it easier. This is a static display but I might turn it into a functional switch in the future and maybe use it to turn on my computer.

Everything was hand painted (except the floor) but I really didn’t do to much finishing of the printed model because I wanted it to look rough and weathered.

The locking feet/piston detail.

I put a lot of the details in the actual model but some details are just painted on.

Paired with a trusty Weighted Storage Cube..

 

Here is the raw print… I included a lot of detail even though it doesn’t show with the button top mounted.

All together it is 5 separate pieces.  (The Floor, Base, 2 Internal Risers Blocks, and the Button.)

 

The cube was just found on Thingiverse.
