Owning a 3D printer must be like owning magic. Because that's all they seem to do. Just...spit out magic. Like these custom Portal 2 turrets.

Michael Curry and Luis Rodriguez were showing these off at the recent RoboGames 2011. Looking at the scale, they appear to be around, what, two feet high?

Meaning I really should stop looking at them, or the urge to get one for my desk will bum me out so bad I need to lie down.

Reader Sean is moving into "an industrial-style condo" in the coming weeks, and felt like tailoring his home decor to match. So he's built himself a Portal 2-themed end table Cave Johnson himself would be happy to hurl lemons at.

Built from plywood with a masonite trim, the box is both a table and a storage solution, as the lid pops open. It's 2-feet by 2-feet, and if we must say it's pretty damn great.

One of the unsung heroes of Portal 2 is the "Animal King". See here for reference. Here, artist Burton Durand gives us a look at the regal turret's beginnings.

Yes, you have to, ahem, test them all.

Custom toy creator Christian Hooton, whose work we've featured previously, has sent us some pictures of these Portal 2 figures he's made. Warning: they are amazing.

Remember, these are entirely custom figures. Hooton has built them from scratch, from the bodies to the cables, and they took two solid weeks to finish.

If Valve ever gets around to releasing official Portal 2 figures, they're going to have a hell of a time competing with these.

It goes without saying that this site constitutes one gigantic spoiler, so don't go there if you are still interested in discovering for yourself anything about Portal 2 or the founder of Aperture Science, whose recorded messages of accelerated dementia have made the character another cult hit from Valve.
