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.

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 :(

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


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!
