    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.

    I have one of the NECA Portal Guns that I got at a relative steal from a friend a few years ago and I love it. This build is a very impressive substitute.
    (In case anyone was curious about the controls on that one, there's a sliding switch on the back of the grip that you can adjust with your thumb, between blue, off and yellow, and of course the trigger on the front.)

  • @DaMoIsHere

    Wow, this is such a cool build! Seeing people actually build my design always makes me really happy so I hope you had fun and sorry for the mess.
    Btw. for anyone looking to also build their own version, I made a complete redesign where I addressed many of the issues (and there are many). I still didn't use velcro though, sorry 😝.

    Thanks to this video...I was inspired to be Chell this year. My journey has already begun. We've already printed the arms and the large plate cover. My bf and I are splitting the prints between resin (my job) and filament (His job) while I foot the bill, and have ordered all of the non-print pieces. I'll take care of construction, and he'll help me with the electronics. I'm honestly hyped :) Thank you for this inspiration for this fun collaborative piece to do with my boyfriend! I will say, for people going into this...it is still NOT Cheap. Especially if you want to add electronics. I just price checked all the parts and I'm looking at almost $160 in electronics ONLY. That's not including the filament, resin, paint, and primer. So far, mine has cost me $249

    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!
