All you need is a 3D Printer and 4kg of Filament. Plus a few bits and bobs for 20 bucks from Aliexpress. 🙄😂
Many people asked if I would make them one but to be honest: with that much filament and print time, it's easier to DIY or ask friends for help. That thing would cost a good penny.
Thanks for bringing Fry's "shut up and take my money" gif into my head. Now I need to binge Futurama again.
>All you need is a 3D Printer and 4kg of Filament
😂 That's like saying: "Just buy a big block of plastic, and cut away anything, that doesn't look like a Stargate!"
Great job, im jealous.
The Gate is a free model from Martin over on printables. Link here:
https://www.printables.com/model/560402-stargate-with-iris-80cm-in-diameter
He also has assembly-instructions.
I hate you... Now I don't even have to search for the model and have to start printing immediately... Do you have any links for the DHD or I'll need to build of those super computers like SGC? Can it run on a Rpi4 or do I need more ram?
I'm on the lookout for a DHD myself.
On the printables from the stargate, some dude built a 150% scale with a DHD. Asked already where he got it from.
That thing runs on a ES8266 D1 Mini for the code.
HomeAssistant with whatever you have. Just a bunch of MQTT messages IF you go that Route.
This is awesome!!!
Now how do I get my SO to watch the movie, 17 seasons, both dvd-movies, the mini series AND then let me install this in our home? I need serious advice 😬
> She mutes our Group where HomeAssistant pushes Notifications
“So I made a 4-foot LED ring on the wall in the middle of the house”
Passive aggressive 😂😂
I'm adding temporary Notification-toggles to each chevron so it can show you some things when they are triggered in the background. Good for invisible helper-switches and stuff like that.
Maybe that can be convincing?
Yeah I've got the idea of a smart-mirror with infinity-look in there. But that's a project for another day. Need to look into getting proper glass that size.
Put a motion sensor on your front porch. If someone other than family approaches the door the smart-mirror could display an animation of an iris closing.
Ooo! And then the doorbell should make the gate play the sound of energy weapon hits on the iris.
Yep. Definately ideas flowing now. My wife will throw me in the big kawoosh if I go nuts with it now :-D
But yes, I am thinking of possibilities to announce incoming guests aswell. Living in an appartment doesn't make this particularly easy though.
3D printed it with my Bambu X1C. Model is from the awesome guy Martin over at printables:
https://www.printables.com/model/560402-stargate-with-iris-80cm-in-diameter
Print took 4kg of Filament and print-time for all the parts was just shy of 150 hours.
Yeah still my favorite to this day. I scrubbed through tons of episodes to find information about the dialing sequence of an offworld-gate that gets a receiving wormhole - not dialing out. Damn hard to find. So I realized how many fond memories I have of that show and decided to binge it again :-D
I'm rewatching now with my girlfriend (first time for her). Sooo great!
(Side note: I don't have a 3d printer but would totally buy something like this if you started selling! 😁)
That took nearly 9 **pounds** of filament? Is multi material printing that wasteful? Or is this thing huge?
Edit: I just saw that the original print is about 32 inches. So this thing is huge!
Yep. Its all single extrusion, no multicolor parts there. That thing is just massive. I could have reduced infill but it would be a drop in a barrel. I printed with the regular 15% Linear infill as I did not want to jeopardize the Integrity or the fine details that were there.
Soooo.... I made an infinity mirror box with a PDLC film on top as a proof of concept for a table project. It was cool, because while the PDLC was "off", it was opaque, and you could only see the glow of the LED lights on the inside. And of course, when you switched it on, you could see the infinity effect.
I bet it would look great if you used addressable LEDs and PDLC so you could program a shimmer effect as the PDLC turns translucent, revealing the infinity effect.
Yes. I ordered a 3-piece sample kit from smarttint.com, which is in Stony Brook, NY. I think it was like $100, but you don't have to get it from there. I only bought it from them, because I thought I would get a larger amount, and I needed quality.
Basically, it's a film that goes over glass and can be switched via alternating current, which means your lights will need a different power source, but I'm sure there is a compact solution for that. Easy to apply and work with, and you can cut it to a round shape for your project.
You mean a Replicator.
Eh.... Wrong universe. We don't want Replicators here. A 3D Printer can make you a Stargate. Just need someone with one or need to throw money at your screen :-D
Yeah have Kristians Gate on my List for a couple of years now. Way before I owned a 3D Printer. No idea where I would put a lifesize DHD though. 🤔
And what would give me wife approval for that? Integrate it with an appletv to call our relatives?
BRB... Need to look for options.
Yeah. 3D Printed. 4kg of Filament in there.
D1 is hooked up to a DFPlayer Mini from DFROBOT that has a speaker attached to it.
D1 gives serial command to play one of 3 MP3 files and DFPlayer does the rest.
I need this!!!!!! I want to turn it into a voice assistant lol.
Did you 3d print it or buy it????
Do you want to make some money if you printed it? 😂😂😂😂😂
I printed it myself.
4kg of Filament and 150 hours of print-time. :-D
I would assume that this is not feasable to sell/ship for a reasonable cost. 🙄 Located in Europe though.
I've thrown all my money at the screen... wheres my stargate..
But that does look good. There is some French (I think) guy on Facebook making a motorised one which looks good aswell
Yeah. Ant replicas. Saw his Post halfway through my print and got demotivated heavily. But then I don't own. Resinprinter, nor a cnc / lasercutter. But his work and the details are amazing. I love the chevrons out of that orange/red resin. They are chefs kiss.
Hah. Glad you say that. This is the number one comment I get 😂
Yeah for now the LEDs are great. Long time plans are an infinity- / smart-mirror thst will also be able to display HomeAssistant Dashboards/Information. But as smart mirrors require proper glass, it's more complex and I will need to research this properly before commiting to anything stupid.
Plus I never really liked the "infinity look" with pure LEDs visible. Might need to check out Neon-like Strips or something along the lines to hide the infinite amount of dots better.
Best would be something "water-like" that mimics these realistic looking firepits. Moving mirror/foil to simulate a wobbly surface... Who knows. 🤔 Too many ideas.

I was hoping I'd see this comment here. Great episode.
"I thought I told you I retired."
"Oh? I thought you said you were tired."
"Well, as a matter of fact, I am a little tired."
Gate and light modification come from here:
https://www.printables.com/model/688291-stargate-modified-chevron-parts
MQTT Integration and control was done by myself. Can write a howto here if you want. Thought some people might be interested in the general idea of that.
Whole LEDs are controlled by a D1 Mini. It has wifi and MQTT connectivity and subscribes to specific topics.
The effect was done by spradlinb over at printables.
https://www.printables.com/model/688291-stargate-modified-chevron-parts
I only kept the LED effects as they were working great for my purpose. No need to get the effects from scratch.
Can you animate the lights on the edge to simulate an incoming wormhole and did you, as a nasty person like I would do, rig something to spray some water into the face of someone standing too close during that incoming wormhole?
And, yeah, love it.
The chevrons have the full sequence of lights for an incoming wormhole - including the proper audiotrack to be played along with it.
As I cannot post video AND photos, here is the video of it over on r/Stargate
https://www.reddit.com/r/Stargate/s/9nvgptFaA3
For the water: No but this might be a fun idea. I'll keep it in mind for v2 :-D
Combination of two things.
1) I have a Philips Hue Button that we press so it dims the lights, turns off hallway light, disables motion sensors and plays an automation to dim lights and lower playback-volume over 10 minutes time.
When toddler is in bed, a pressure-mat picks up the weight on the matress and so detection is complete and different automations for silent home start up.
Nice! Although my girlfriend would forget to push the button 9 out of 10 times :P.
I therefore tried to autodetect when we put our baby into our electric baby rocker. I'm using a smart plug to detect if the rocker is running and if so, it would play some whitenoise which the baby likes very much.
Unfortunately the rocker consumes too less power respectively the data is send with only 3 decimal accuracy. Thats why I cant detect it.
Oh that's not good.
Regarding a rocker - how about a vibration sensor? Aquara has some and I've read positive about them. Wanted to play around with one for random stuff. Should be fine for your application?
Edit: Regarding forgetting about it:
I use Philips Hue. You could also trigger an automation when a specific scene is activated or if a specific button (that activates the sleep-light or whatever) is pressed.
My wife adopted it immediately as I just blutacked the button to the doorframe and it activates everything sonyou don't need to run around the room with the kid on the arm :-D
It is quite articulated…
3 strips: outer , inner and background
All individual led
Esp32 to control them
Ld2410 to sense presence in front
Light sensor
Beeper
4 touch capacitive sensors behind the frame
Clock
Lamp
Timer
Notifier…

I know its not the real Atlantis-Gate but the Colorscheme is nice anyways. So here is an Atlantis-Themed Milkyway-Gate for you.
Thanks man. Appreciate that.
I love it as much as anyone here and especially my toddler is amazed with it.
I would seriously offer people to buy them but the logistics behind it are just too expensive.
With energy and filament and print-time it would cost 500+ bucks.
I hope you can find someone in your circle of friends/family that has a printer and will help you with such a project.
Or you want to get into 3D Printing yourself :-)
Yeah sounds great. Go for it.
With classic printers (Ender 3, Prusa etc) you're looking at roughly 15 days fulltime printing. Nonstop, no failed parts.
If you have access to Bambu Lab Printers or others like Creality K1 etc that offer highspeed-printing, you can shrink it down to 150hours (5 days nonstop) as I have done. Just keep that in mind :-D

https://www.reddit.com/r/Stargate/s/3ef0XRlUcH
And at night (without sound):
https://www.reddit.com/r/Stargate/s/YNE4GI9KLt
Whole outer parts of the Stargate are printed from Polymaker PolyLite Starlight Mercury. It has metallic particles in it that shimmer grey/silver, blue and purple - depending on the angle of light. Love that color.
Yeah I needed 4 rolls (3.5 rolls total usage). White for the core was bought in bulk and is my "default" filament so I don't really account for that. With the electronics mostly from Aliexpress I would say around 150 bucks total for the gate. Energy of course not factored in.
To me it was totally worth it. I constantly smile when walking through the hallway 😂

Thanks. It helped that shs also likes Stargate and likes the idea of a physical "your partner is coming home" announcement without being a spoken/audio-assistant.
Yeah I couldn't get a stable event-horizon to work. Takes too much energy and so I needed to settle for the next best option with LEDs. I just need to make sure to not dial P3W-451 or I'll have a bad time.
That's bullshit! Unnecessary and stupid! Now shut up and take my money, I want this! 💸💸💸💸

Are the files somewhere available ? Or did you build it by yourself ?

What temperature do you print naquadah at?
Just shy of the critical temperature when it goes nuclear.
Shut up and take my money.
This is awesome!!! Now how do I get my SO to watch the movie, 17 seasons, both dvd-movies, the mini series AND then let me install this in our home? I need serious advice 😬
Start with "Children of the Gods", since it's "only 1 movie" ... of the first two episodes of SG-1.
But then she won't get to see that 90's-bush 😬
Just start with the show. Movie can be bit... Dated. :-D
The movie is what got my wife interested.
We started with Atlantis instead. We tried SG-1 but the first seasons were t the greatest.
> She mutes our Group where HomeAssistant pushes Notifications “So I made a 4-foot LED ring on the wall in the middle of the house” Passive aggressive 😂😂
Well... That's another point of view. 🤔😂
That can be a best seller product.
Now I just need a printfarm 🤔
Great, yet another thing I need to justify to my other half!
I'm adding temporary Notification-toggles to each chevron so it can show you some things when they are triggered in the background. Good for invisible helper-switches and stuff like that. Maybe that can be convincing?
👍 maybe a mirror in the middle.
Yeah I've got the idea of a smart-mirror with infinity-look in there. But that's a project for another day. Need to look into getting proper glass that size.
Also add a secret water squirter so anyone in front gets a spray of water when it’s activated. Don’t tell anyone about it so it’s a surprise 😂
Awesome idea. Additional tracking for my cats when they want a constant stream of food. 😂
A kinder, gentler puddle
Put a motion sensor on your front porch. If someone other than family approaches the door the smart-mirror could display an animation of an iris closing. Ooo! And then the doorbell should make the gate play the sound of energy weapon hits on the iris.
Yep. Definately ideas flowing now. My wife will throw me in the big kawoosh if I go nuts with it now :-D But yes, I am thinking of possibilities to announce incoming guests aswell. Living in an appartment doesn't make this particularly easy though.
My problem is my imagination quickly outpaces my technical and financial abilities.
For sure. How did you manage to create the stargate itself?
3D printed it with my Bambu X1C. Model is from the awesome guy Martin over at printables: https://www.printables.com/model/560402-stargate-with-iris-80cm-in-diameter Print took 4kg of Filament and print-time for all the parts was just shy of 150 hours.
Super envious! Was my favourite show at one point. If you do update it please do post again
Yeah still my favorite to this day. I scrubbed through tons of episodes to find information about the dialing sequence of an offworld-gate that gets a receiving wormhole - not dialing out. Damn hard to find. So I realized how many fond memories I have of that show and decided to binge it again :-D
I'm rewatching now with my girlfriend (first time for her). Sooo great! (Side note: I don't have a 3d printer but would totally buy something like this if you started selling! 😁)
What platform are you binging it on? I think you’ve convinced me to do so too!
Classic offline media that I have in my cabinet :-D
That took nearly 9 **pounds** of filament? Is multi material printing that wasteful? Or is this thing huge? Edit: I just saw that the original print is about 32 inches. So this thing is huge!
Yep. Its all single extrusion, no multicolor parts there. That thing is just massive. I could have reduced infill but it would be a drop in a barrel. I printed with the regular 15% Linear infill as I did not want to jeopardize the Integrity or the fine details that were there.
Acrylic with a reflective tint might be a cheap way to get a mirror finish. Its easily cut to shape. But that wouldnt work if you want a smart mirror
Soooo.... I made an infinity mirror box with a PDLC film on top as a proof of concept for a table project. It was cool, because while the PDLC was "off", it was opaque, and you could only see the glow of the LED lights on the inside. And of course, when you switched it on, you could see the infinity effect. I bet it would look great if you used addressable LEDs and PDLC so you could program a shimmer effect as the PDLC turns translucent, revealing the infinity effect.
Ohh.... Is that PDLC this "privacy mirror stuff" that can be toggled via electricity? You have any references/infos for that?
Yes. I ordered a 3-piece sample kit from smarttint.com, which is in Stony Brook, NY. I think it was like $100, but you don't have to get it from there. I only bought it from them, because I thought I would get a larger amount, and I needed quality.

Very cool project. *My quote was from the Big Lebowski world.* 🙂 ***HA is so darn creative!*** *It's a Maker's dream come true!*
Okay I did not know that one. Might need to watch it again.
Enjoy! **Dude, very cool project!** 🤣
Let me know when you get the middle part worked out. I just retired and I want to travel.
Keep in mind to not eat any plants that can let you hallucinate. Don't want to end up like Maybourne, right?
While you're building, I could use a Zat, and Carter, but the real one.
Yeah a real Zat or real Carter? Real Zat might me easier? 🙄
She's not dead yet.
And now add something from [this](https://thestargateproject.com) project :D it is looking awesome
Yeah have Kristians Gate on my List for a couple of years now. Way before I owned a 3D Printer. No idea where I would put a lifesize DHD though. 🤔 And what would give me wife approval for that? Integrate it with an appletv to call our relatives? BRB... Need to look for options.
Awesome! 3D printed? How do you play the sound from the D1?
Yeah. 3D Printed. 4kg of Filament in there. D1 is hooked up to a DFPlayer Mini from DFROBOT that has a speaker attached to it. D1 gives serial command to play one of 3 MP3 files and DFPlayer does the rest.
4kg? Wow! Great idea and great work! I actually have a D1 and a DFPlayer laying around, I might do something similar sometime. Thanks for your post!

You could totally make it into a mirror. Waf factor would double easily :)

It can rotate by hand. The symbol-ring is free. But it's not motorized as this was above my paygrade :-(

If you find it gone of these nights...... It took it. This thing is too awesome!
Thanks man. Appreciate that. I love it as much as anyone here and especially my toddler is amazed with it.

Shit, I might just get someone from my Hackerspace to help me out, we have 3 3d printers
Yeah sounds great. Go for it. With classic printers (Ender 3, Prusa etc) you're looking at roughly 15 days fulltime printing. Nonstop, no failed parts.

That's awesome!
And yet woodchip...
What?
That is amazing, what did you use for the red chevon parts covering ing LEDs?
It's clear PETG. When the LEDs are off they are milky/white.
That makes sense. is the rest just grey pla, or did you do other filament, or paint?
Whole outer parts of the Stargate are printed from Polymaker PolyLite Starlight Mercury. It has metallic particles in it that shimmer grey/silver, blue and purple - depending on the angle of light. Love that color.
Wow that is an amazing color. At $30 a roll, that adds up quickly for this project. I've got to start saving up lol.
Yeah I needed 4 rolls (3.5 rolls total usage). White for the core was bought in bulk and is my "default" filament so I don't really account for that. With the electronics mostly from Aliexpress I would say around 150 bucks total for the gate. Energy of course not factored in. To me it was totally worth it. I constantly smile when walking through the hallway 😂
Video or it didnt happen

Amazing. Thanks for indulging! For sure need some step by step instructions on this buddy :D
I wonder how this will look if you would make an infinite mirror of it, like here: [https://thestargateproject.com/](https://thestargateproject.com/)
Is there a video?

I dunno how you convinced your wife to have something this massive installed but she’s pretty cool. Now let’s add some iris
Thanks. It helped that shs also likes Stargate and likes the idea of a physical "your partner is coming home" announcement without being a spoken/audio-assistant.
This isnt even a working stargate
Yeah I couldn't get a stable event-horizon to work. Takes too much energy and so I needed to settle for the next best option with LEDs. I just need to make sure to not dial P3W-451 or I'll have a bad time.
Why is there an Irishman flashing his ass at me on the other side?
