3D model description
Hey thanks for checking out my first uploaded design. I give you the Spider-verse Portal, I designed it to have 2 configurations, the tunnel mode (for large displays) and the flat wall portal(for limited space displays). In total there are 7 hexagonal rings. The first one I printed was in transparent orange PLA filament, at the time in only had access to an ender 3 and could only fit the first 6 rings. I now have a Neptune 4 max and can print all 7 rings.
To use this it dose require a 3mm clear figure/flight stand, I use spare Figma stands since I have a bunch of extras and they can be found cheap online.
OK so using the portals I did my best to give you the most options to create the ideal display piece. Now each ring has 3 ports located at the bottom the standard mode is essentially how you want to print it, Biggest ring on the outside with all the smaller rings on the inside. The ports are all 3mm so you can use each one individually with the flight stand. on the rings there's a center port, 30 degree rotation port to the right and a 20 degree rotation port to the left.
lets start with the easier display mode, the flat display, so this mode is limited to only 6 rings and uses the flat wall stand and flat wall stand pegs. In my given examples I print out 6 short pegs 3 med and 3 long, you can print. if you only want too print the long pegs you can, the stand has key holes that open all the way through they just stick out the back some. The reason for the longer pegs is to give it some depth and for rotation clearance. The pegs had a keyed blocky side for stand adapter and the round side is for the portal rings. I print these round side flat against the bed. once you have it all printed out add one peg to the ring ports and connect them to the stand adapter, best to work from smallest ring to largest ring, once all together you can connect them to your 3mm display stand and ready to use the flat wall portal.
Now for the tunnel, similar to the fall display but the peg connects are much bigger. The stand itself also has 3mm ports on the bottom side and the top side uses rectangular slots. These portal connecters are larger L Like hooks, Its best to port the rectangular pegs in and this is where your tolerances matter the most. On my ender 3 I had to decrease the width by .03 mm to get them to slide through but on my Neptune 4 max i didn't have to make any adjustments, I do recommend having the slots grip tight and not all the way through, over time the swapping and friction will make the slots wider and loose. You can make minor adjustments to the heights if the slots grip tightly. For a shallow tunnel use the 2cm connectors, for deeper tunnel the 4cm connectors I mix and match them for a nice variety combined with the rotation ports and you can get some really nice portals.
If you print and sell these please let em know where you found the files, and don't over price them, im personally selling a few printed version at 15 usd with shipping.
I'm probably not explaining this very well and I hope the pictures help. I'm working on a Youtube video to help with assembly and ill be posting that here as soon as its uploaded. Any questions let me know, cant wait to see what you can do with these.

** Files updated** re scaled parts for easier print set up. Added new experimental pieces to eliminate the separate 3mm Figma stand.
