I missed off the small railing on the ‘top platform parts’ plate… its in the individual STL's but have now added it to the plate
Kristians Stargatt project was the main reason I started 3d printing and was made using my trusty old Ender 3 V2…
Kristians Stargate project is epically good and has a great discord community to support those wanting to build there own

The SGC ramp is a separate set of complimentary files and can be found on thingiverse here
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4822971
These files are additional to the SGC ramp files and xgender88k's files need no modification to use these… they replace the railings and add a ‘cover’ to the main electronics… I designed these based off image references and still from my SG1 DVD boxset but are not 100% screen accurate because… reasons :)
The cabinet comes in two versions… one with a cut out if you want to access the Raspberry Pi ports from the side or one without the cut out that would require a bit more creative cabling to route out behind the stargate but give a cleaner look…
The ramp rails are attached to the ramp using brackets… the bolts used are M2x8 although you might get away with M2x6… the brackets will hold the nuts in place…
To fit the rails I would suggest loosely attaching the brackets and sliding them onto the ramp parts… they are designed to clamp the ramps edge… when all rails are attached and aligned you can then use a little glue to secure the brackets to the ramp….you can them remove the rails as required for painting etc
The light bars are designed to use 5v COB lighting strips…
Wiring is a little awkward as is the way of things and I used 28awg enamelled copper wire (coil winding wire) to wire them all up…
The lens can be glued on after…
This is not meant to be a tutorial as there are a number of ways the wiring can be done for this but I took 5v off the top servo motor HAT to feed the lighting on power up…
I designed the junction boxes of the cabinet to allow wiring to pass through so you can make a ‘feature’ of the wiring rather than try to hide it…
The cabinet front panel is secure using M2.5x8 bolts into M2.5 heat inserts… you can of course use a nut/bolt combo as the holes go right through but you will need longer bolts
