A long time ago (like 9 years) when i was around 12 years old i asked my mum for a portal gun replica i found for like 60 bucks, she told me to wait because the price will probably drop even more, and i'm still furious today when i think about it.

[@flaming_skull]

$60?!? Shit, I'm over here pissed with you. I've always wanted one of these, but there damn expensive. And you could have had one!?!.

[@timeywimeybrony]

What? No.... Thats sad, sorry dude

[@redkawinchannel7432]

as a fellow, but lower-quality, portal-gun building nerd, might I say that yours is one of the best I've ever seen!

I just found my atlas portal gun I got about 8 years ago in my attic. So happy to see it again and give it a clean up to see it’s still working just fine.

[@sonicfreak04]

I'll never forget how harrison krix (aka volpin props) made his own portal gun when the game first came out. you did a great job with yours

Wow. This is unreal like that spirittomb. You’ve given yourself a new subscriber

[@rojorum2433]

I made one of these a few years back as well. Mine just had LEDs no sound but it was the first time I dealt with wiring stuff up like that. Yours is very cool I must say and I felt your pains in putting this together as I had a lot of the same problems.

wtf? how is this so underrated! this should have views in the hundreds of thousands!

[@springshroom]

imagine having a projector at the end to "place" portals

[@masterpig5s]

I know it’s a bit late but iron man helmets have this little board for power banks that constantly use enough to keep it powering the port

[@BigRigCreates]

Oh? Do you know where I could find more info on this?

[@Sigma123r]

I love this guys channel

[@lensat6782]

Love this!! For the process of removing the filament lines with the whole filler and spray paint method, have you tried using plasti-dip? You'd still need to put filler on the larger cracks but the plasti-dip would fill in the rest of the surface pretty well and make it nice and smooth. If you wanted a high gloss finish you'd still probably want to spray paint it after but its really great for prop making!

[@BigRigCreates]

Hrm I’ll look into this.

[@lensat6782]

@@BigRigCreates Kamui Cosplay has some great videos on painting props (worbla, foam and 3d prints) and how she uses it as a finish or primer for paints :)

Who would've thought that the portal I bought years ago would be this expensive now. Maybe I should sell the official portal gun that I owned for years

The Glad0s voice at the end sounded both dead inside and depressed, poor Glad0s 😢

[@NexonLAB]

nice work

[@KyleGK01]

Here's a cool idea: there's a mod for portal 2 where you can play it in vr. Wouldn't it be cool if there was a controller that looks like a portal gun?

What if you made a blue or orange portal with one of those light hologram fans you used for that purple Pokémon but bigger

[@jed4276]

If you’re making a portal gun, be sure to get some moon dust to make into a surface for the portals to go on.

What was different about the battery bank that you couldn't have used something like a D cell?

Unfortunately, a D cell battery wouldn't have the capacity / amps needed to power everything. Using a rechargeable battery with a high amp and power capacity powered by usb was what I needed.

I have to ask, how much did this all end up costing in the end?

[@BigRigCreates]

There were a lot of parts I had to buy in bulk, so I would approximate it inside the $250 range, but there are ways to make the final cost cheaper.

did u ever think about making the gravity gun ?
