You can bring the safety and security provided by the minds of Aperture Laboratories into your home now thanks to maker and developer Reckless_commenter and his latest Raspberry Pi-powered creation. Using our favorite SBC, he's brought to life the creepy sentry turret from the 'Portal' franchise—albeit a stationary one without bullets that's still sure to strike fear in anyone familiar with the ominous security drones.
According to Reckless_commenter, the idea began simply as an opportunity to 3D print a unit for decoration. However, the 3D model didn't quite print cleanly and required a bit of work to splice in a way that would produce better results. It was during this process that he quickly realized it would be possible to create room inside the turret for some microelectronics.
