Awesome!
Very creative. :gj:

One question: How do you change out the batteries?
With all those 18650s I'm guessing you won't have to very often.

 

[ARG]

Wow! That's really wicked looking! Looks like something out of a movie.

Love the addition of the key switch!

 

[Bibibig]

to change batteries just unscrew the 6 nuts at the end of laser.
but with 7 batteries it has a long liftime

 

[Joe Mo]

SO PROFESSIONAL! how did you cut the lexan?

 

[00Giorge]

That is a really cool "strange" laser!

 

[Arayan]

WOW... a masterpiece for a sci-fi lover please tell me if you decide to sell this jewel :topic:

 

[Ghostchrome]

Beautiful! Nicely done.

 

[yobresal]

Add a Little digital timer and that thing would be spot on for a movie bomb.

 

[jcranmer]

Awesome build!

 

[Hiemal]

Looks similar to the bomb from War Games. :B

Very well done!

 

[Lase]

For such an odd looking host it's quite aesthetically pleasing to me

+1 for an awesome build :beer:

Lase

 

[Sigurthr]

Wow! That is very, very nicely done! I'd love to see some beamshots outdoors at night.

 

[Bibibig]

to Cut The LEXAN i juste use a hole saw
like this

and some Night beam shoot

 

[Blord]

That looks great. It does resembling the death star laser in SW. Or the aim laser in Predator movie.

 

[Ghostchrome]

That looks awesome. I totally want to build something like this.

Just curious, how did/do you align the beams? Are they adjustable?
