Description

The Weighted Companion Cube was first introduced in Portal, and remains prevalent in Portal 2. Similar to the Weighted Storage Cube, the Companion Cube possesses a different design in Portal 2. The Cube functions in the same way as a Weighted Storage Cube, being differentiated to encourage test subjects to feel attached to the Cube.

"The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak."
— GLaDOS

This Weighted Companion Cube is modelled from the Orange Box's Portal.

It's worth noting that you'll probably want to print this with supports.

I printed this on a Makerbot Replicator 2, on the following settings:
- "High", (2 inches x 2 inches) [original dims are: 1 inch x 1 inch), No Raft, No Support

Everything came out great (took ~5 hours), except for the bottom. Lots of stray wires/ribbony material rendering the bottom face a mess.

I'll have to reprint this with supports+raft, I'm sure it'll turn out much better. Thanks!

Is it possible to get a split stl with edges and center, or even the not grouped stl, for some dual extrusion tests.

after printing i noticed that the cube is oriented the wrong way.. can you rotate it so that the 4 vertical sides heart are all upright?

i printed it and the support ruined the finish feel to one of the major sides :(

Which printer or software did you use? Makerware and UP! support rotating.
I aware of the wrong rotation, that's why I rotated 90 degree.
Mine is fine on all sides, the support material peeled off easily.

Getting my Replicator 2 today - this is the first thing I'm gonna print!

Best replica I've seen. Excellent work!

 Thanks!
