Description
And here's the portal add-on set to further enhance the space bridge extension kit we've previously released.
This set's portal arch pegs into the 5mm ports on the sides of the earlier extension set, which is itself connected in between the two halves of the Haslab space bridge display!
This both extends the roadway upon which your bots can travel, and also presents a screen-inspired arch for them to drive through!
On their own, this is how the set can be broken down into its component parts (more on that in the assembly below), in case you would like to reconfigure your display. The black pipes used in our display are standard 20mm PVC pipes cut to length, but we've also provided 3d print files for these pipes if that would make it easier for you too.
But that's not all - the arch pieces are actually designed in two magnetically assembled halves - allow them to split up for the next mode you can have this set in the portal mode! For this, a portal piece first has to be positioned in place.
The portal piece, which we have painted in clear blue, has feet which just slide into the connector notches on the underside of the extension piece.
With the portal piece nicely in place, it is then a easy matter of attaching the arch piece back in their place.
The reverse side of this halved portal and arch is now then a flat surface, which you can use to display your bots as they zip out of the portal! Would be fun if you have a pair of them actually - but we ran out of photobooth space to display them as such.
And of course, if you're also a collector of the comics or other book media - these would work splendidly as bookends too!
=== Assembly ===
The included diagram shows all the parts of this set and how they are assembled.
Parts of the arch are connected using the provided 5mm pegs. With 5x3mm magnets glued in their notches, front and back halves of the arch can magnetically snap together.
The portal piece is recommended to be printed in a clear filament, and then painted up with a clear blue paint to give it the shimmered, see-through look.

Hope this will be a fun set to add some display possibilities and even bookshelf utility for your Haslab display pieces. Happy 3d printing as always! =)
