Dear Companion Cube,
I admire your rounded edges and cute little heart design so much that I think you shall make me a perfect ottoman. I might even make you a Weighted Storage cube as a companion, and perhaps a Redirection Cube as well. No storage collection would be complete without the Edgless Safety Cube. Yes, I think you shall enjoy your place of prominence within my living room.
Sincerely,
Portal Lovin' Nat
So the plan for this one is to make two ottomans. One will be the companion cube with the cute pink hearts and the other will bear the Aperture Science logo. Both will have internal storage (I'm thinking it will be convenient to stash game controllers in one and my crochet/knitting supplies in the other). I'm currently in the planning mode for this one.

"i like the idea very much and am interested to see how it turns out. i actually came across this page while researching for a similar project of my own. i am in the process of designing a desktop enclosure in the likeness of the cube. i was wondering if you had any advice based on what you have currently learned in terms of how you figured out your dimensions." - imscuba
This project is still in the planning phase for me. My husband and I have been playing Portal 2 lately and, near as we can tell, the cube comes up to half-way between the knee and mid-thigh on Chell. Since I don't know how tall Chell is - we plan on making it comparable to our height. Which will put the cube roughly at 2 feet in height, length, and width. I haven't started working on what the dimensions of the individual components will be. I think I may have the artwork printed out at 2 feet tall when the time comes to make measurement calculations easier. I'm hoping to get to this project later this summer. I also think it will become a trio project - adding in the Redirection Cube. I'd love to see how yours turns out!

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. I've added what I know so far into my main post on the cubes.
ReplyDeleteoh, thats awesome to hear. hopefully mine will be constructed and completed within 6 weeks for my final for a pc class (ill have the hardware by then, but the case is another story). i am looking to make mine around 1 foot sides. i would be more than happy enough to share my findings in terms of dimensions when i have what i decide to go with.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Have fun building it!
