Ricks Portal Gun (Rick & Morty)

I wanted to build a portal gun from Rick and Morty, but I wasn't really happy with any of the files I found online. So I decided to have a go at making my own. And here it is!

I printed the body of the portal gun in two parts out of PLA on my Ender 3 V2, as well as the tray that slides in the front.

The LED lenses and the plasma tube were printed in clear resin on my Photon mono X.

This project needed a lot of filling, sanding and painting, so be prepared!

For best results on the plasma tube I recommend sanding your way up to a very high grit and then applying a couple coats of clear coat.

I used hot glue to create the plasma ball effect/

The electronics I use are as follows:
Raspberry Pi Pico (specifically the Pico LiPo from Pimoroni)
5 green 5mm LEDs
A rechargeable 500mah LiPo battery (I was originally going to get a bigger one but couldn't source it in the end)
Fermion: EC11 Rotary Encoder Module (Breakout) (cut down)
Adafruit 0.56" 4-Digit 7-Segment Display - w/ I2C Backpack QT - Red (Assembled)
The materials I used are as follows:
PLA
Clear UV resin
E-tech advanced body filler
PlastiKote Matte & Glossy spray paint
Rustoleum Crystal clear glossy clear-coat
Hot Glue (for plasma ball)
Various grits of sandpaper up to 2500grit
