Inspired by Lazed's thread on his 3D lasers :). Just a quick something I started in Autodesk Inventor to kill some time. I don't have a name for it yet so for now it is simply called the "prototype". I am not sure as to how practical this would be, so any suggestions to keep it MORE practical would be helpful. And keep in mind this is a work in progress :).

I should explain this model a little bit. This model would feature a heat sensitive on/off pad, so no more worrying about it going off while you have it in your pocket or bag ect. It also has a rubberized grip for holding comfort and to stop it from rolling away.

Dimensions.

TO DO LIST:
+ Add some kind of rail on the bottom to attach a stand. Something similar to a weaver rail on rifles/pistols.
+SHORTER!!
 





Shorter? Looks fine! I like the chrome finish. It might get hot in your bag or pocket, so I don't know about the heat pad. Makes for a sleek design though. I also like the idea of making it easy to mount. Any plans to make a (maybe simplified) version of this a reality?
 
I work in a machine shop, so I would LOVE to see this actually come together :D. Simplified of course.

Well, the heat pad is the hardest part I guess, so if you replaced it with a button it would be easier. :P The fancy endcap might be hard to machine.And I don't know how you would go about the rubberized grip, I have no idea.
 
in my opinion you should replace the heat sensetive pad with a SLIDE on and off switch. it would still be sleek!

Like the same switch on the SanDisk USB I have.

Tried to get a good pic of the rail, but this is the best I can do for ya.

It's a sweet design. :D But why does the farther end appear bigger in the renderer? :-/

DAMN! I cant believe I did not notice that! I must have turned off the "depth" button! Woops. But you get the idea lol.
 
Brodi,
Nice graphic conception.

Please post what software tools, etc.. you work with to make that concept laser? [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
