I have a made a “working” Stargate model from the SG1 TV-show. It spins, the chevrons move and lights up and when a correct address is dialled, the wormhole is established. The wormhole is an infinity mirror effect. The stargate is controlled with a DHD. You can check out the video presentation of the Stargate in action here:
Here is a video showing one Stargate dialing another Stargate
I like 3d printing, electronics, programming and making stuff. I also enjoy the Stargate TV-series and decided to make a “working” model of the stargate as seen in the TV-show.
This was a challenging and fun project and I had to learn a lot of new stuff. This has been a very time-consuming project. There are a few variations of Stargates used in the show and I chose to make the original one from the SG1 series. There are also several logical “glitches” in the technical workings of the gate as seen in the TV show and it even behaves differently in different episodes. I have made it work as best I can while staying as true as possible to the feeling and essence of the TV-Show.
Features
- A fully interactive working Stargate complete with a DHD (Dial Home Device).
- The Stargate ring spins and places the dialled symbol on the correct chevron as the traveller is inputting the address by using the DHD.
- All 7 chevrons move and lights up when engaged.
- The Stargate can dial any milky-way address used in the show.
- NEW: The stargate can now dial other stargates over the Internet, and receive incoming wormholes from other stargates on the Internet.
- When a correct address is input using the DHD, the wormhole is established.
- The wormhole effect consists of a animated infinity mirror of 122 LED’s.
- Complete with sound effects from the TV Show.
- When the wormhole stays open, selected random audio clips from the TV-Show is played.
- As in the TV-Show the wormhole can stay open for 38 minutes. When the time limit is reached, a random quote from the show where the time limit is mentioned is played and the wormhole disengages.
- Do not dial the black hole.
- The Stargate itself is about 39 cm in diameter.

The engineering put in this project it’s insane. Bravo!
This is so cool!!! I will definitely check into the building or purchasing options.
Beautiful beautiful model.. I can appreciate as a modeler how much work this must have taken, the motion in particular is amazing.
Less amazing is how I found this site. Saw a Stargate diorama model advertised and thought it was just far too good for the money (£50). Did an image search and made my way here.

Found this, thought I’d inform. 🙁
Where can i buy one please I really want one as I’m a huge stargate fan. Where can I buy and how much????
By the ancients this is absolutely stunning! I am planning on running a Starfinder campaign around a stargate theme and would ADORE having a working Destiny style gate! I will definitely be keeping tabs here. Now you have me thinking how something like Destiny’s dialing remotes might work…
Hi I have seen this being advertised on sites all are scams which is disheartening as I have been a huge fan of stargate since the film then the series and would like to know if you are making them to sell as I would like to purchase one from you and if please contact me with all relevant information
Any chance you can make the stargates as communication devices? Like I have one and a friend has one, we create our own dialing sequences to talk to each other through the gates?
Add a camera to the top of the gate and you can do video communications
Huge respect, this is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.
You are amazing. I want to buy one. Please contact Me Artwork@awoa.com
I’m a huge fan and I have to have it.
You did an amazing job. But a website stole your images and videos! I purchased a Stargate with the exact video and images that you are displaying, but received a poor plastic replica instead. Mega scam.

Me too. I saw it on TikTok. They were selling it for $50 marked down from $100. I used PayPal so I was able to get my money back. The go by EtsyLike and are in China.
Please, please, please…start an etsy shop?! I would desperately love one of these. I love 3d printing and electronics too, but just don’t have the time to do it any more. Please let me know if you do!
Please make a shop on a site like Etsy. You will be sold out. Bit save one for me if you do. I found your site because your pics were used by scamsite. Beware.
Same a Facebook chinese scamware page is copying your data and trying to sell your gates. But dang this is cool.
Hallo, ich bin anscheinend auch auf einen Betrüger reingefallen. Wenn sie das Tor in Serie Produzieren melden sie sich Bitte bei mir. Ich würde 2 Stück kaufen um meine Tochter anzuwählen.
LG Michael
I just got scammed by them.

I would love to buy 9ne that is fully functional. The Facebook scammers are out there, unfortunately.
Well now I know what I want for my birthday!
This has to be one of the absolute coolest things I have seen in quite a while! In the fact that you have it where I can go online and connect to other Stargates that people in is over-the-top fantastic!
Any way i love this project
Hi dear i want to know if you think about the rear of the stargate i dont like that he rest with the motors in evidence
Hi here is a link to a fake add on fb selling your wonderful product [link removed]
I’ve reported it but thought you should know
You need to do a kickstarter project and get this made, get rewarded for your design rather than let Facebook scammers profit
That is a great idea. This thing is awesome!
