Deadly, yet adorable, this plush turret from the game Portal talks and responds when you play with it. It senses when you pick it up, knock it over, or walk in front of it. The stuffing and soft fleece skin make it super cuddly, too!
Inspired by Up, not North.

Bill of Materials

This open source hardware project contains no parts.

Steps

. Sew zipper to other side

Flip the fabric inside out, and line the unstitched side of the zipper with the unstitched side of the fleece. Sew from the top until just past the zipper.

Step11

. Put fabric shell on electronics skeleton

Flip the fabric right-side out, and carefully slip the fabric over the skeleton of the turret.

Step12

. Stuff with fiberfill

Open the zipper, and use the fiberfill to stuff the turret around the skeleton.

Step13

. Cut leg slits

Cut slits in the front of the fabric so that it fits around the wire legs. Tip: If you need to adjust the cut, simply make another cut and sew up the previous cut.

Step14

. Print out leg pattern

Print out and cut the pattern for the legs and leg covers. When you print these pieces, make sure to set "Page Scaling" to "None" in the "Print" dialogue box.
