Working , in that you’re able to place the dial to rotate as you choose — not in that it will assist you leap across the solar arrangement . ( Yet . )
The projection was submitted by commenterCarato ourshow - and - evidence threadtoday . To make the model , she explicate , she 3D printed the office and then added a motor and a programmed Arduino to correct the whole thing in movement :
The entire thing was made on my Printrbot Simple Metal 3D printing machine with Gray ( and some sheer ) PLA material . It also has a NEMA 17 stepper motor to drive the inner anchor ring , and 5 millimeter NeoPixels to light up the chevrons . The whole thing is driven by an Arduino Uno with an Adafruit motor shield using an Arduino survey I write ( and am still tweaking )
Here ’s the whole thing slightly improved with a Photoshopped heart , though Cara differentiate us that she hopes to approximate that tone in person with some warped gloomy charge card :
The whole thing measure just over 16 inches across , making it ideal for thematic room decoration — or , if you just have housecats with flying and easy intergalactic travel ambition .
you’re able to see instructions — complete with specs in sheath you desire to meet your own — for how Cara made her Stargatehere . Plus , the specs for themodel made by Glitchthat inspired her electronic variant .
