Description Here is a tutorial of how I made my custom weighted companion cubes. Feel free to make your own but please take pictures and show me your results!

Weighted companion cube and aperture science were created by Valve for their game Portal. ^_^

Better make one before Portal 2 comes out and the companion cube is replaced by a new hotness.

HoiHoiSan In reply to ri1543 [2010-07-27 16:23:36 +0000 UTC]

I made the cutters out of sheet tin, which you can get at a hobby store. You don't have to do it that way, you can cut each piece out by hand, I used the cutter to make all the pieces uniform.

Wow, that's amazing, it looks so much bigger in the photos, but it's only... The size of my palm! Or something...

Has anyone gone further and made a bigger one?

HoiHoiSan In reply to DoodleDork [2008-11-29 02:30:48 +0000 UTC]

You don't have to do it with a tin cutter, you can just cut them out by hand, there are just a lot to cut out. I used needle nose pliers to bend the tin into shape though.

Woo yay! I've been wanting to make my own Companion Cube since I first played the game, but wasn't sure how to go about it. I was thinking of carving one out of wood, but your way looks so much easier. Thanks for sharing this with us.
