(UPDATE: I will be adding more pictures and a diagram of the basic wiring soon. As I did not originally intend on sharing this project I did not document it as well as I could have. I will also try to track down links to all the parts I used.)
REMEMBER TO BE SAFE!! THIS IS NOT A TOY!! IF YOU BUILD IT AS I DID IT CAN DO SERIOUS DAMAGE TO SOMEONES EYES FASTER THAN THEY CAN BLINK. EVEN REFLECTIONS FROM A SURFACE LIKE A WHITE WALL CAN HURT YOUR EYES. OR ANY SURFACE. EVEN BLACK SURFACES. LASERS CAN BLIND YOU VERY FAST. USE OF LASER EYE PROTECTION IS RECOMMENDED.
NEVER POINT IT AT ANYONE!!! THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE USED AS AN ACTUAL WEAPON!!!
A DIY 3D Printed Laser Rifle. P.E.W.S. MK-1 (Personal Energy Weapon System)
With a 1000mw blue engraving laser, 5mw red aiming laser, 5mw green laser with star cap, plasma ball, sound effects, lighting effects, and more. It runs off of a 3S or 4S Lipo. But it's set up for 4S right now. It's using a 5200mah pack. It's not deadly but I wouldn't want to get hit with the laser on my skin
The arduino is an adafruit trinket 5v. And it controls the lighting and the laser controler. The sounds are from an adafruit sound fx board. And it's got multiple voltage regulators to power everything. Some at 5v and some at 12v. And it's got a couple voltage displays. One for the laser that's adjustable on the side of the rifle. And the other one is for the plasma ball. It displays 0.00A until I arm the rifle then it shows about 0.2A. The plasma ball is a 3" one. But it measures about 80mm.

I'm uploading all the files I have for it.some are old and have been updated. I just don't want to sift through them all. I'm also uploading the blend file.
I AM NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INJURIES CAUSED FROM THE USE OF THE LASER RIFLE YOU MAKE. PLEASE USE CAUTION WHILE OPERATING IT.
