When I first found JayRob's excellent phaser mod tutorials I knew I had to do one. His build instructions are excellent so I acquired through ebay both the proper Playmates brand Classic Star Trek Phaser ($29) & a 532nm 100mW (measures 82mW stable on my LPM) laser module complete with driver ($30) from China which took a few weeks.
When it was getting close to my needed surgery I acquired the last components I needed to do the build from Jayrob himself. His excellent heatsink perfect for the model and a replacement switch ($31 total).
A week after my surgery I was feeling well enough to take out my dremel tool kit, soldering outfit, & bed desk to start working on the build.
I didn't take pics of the build because all you need to do is look at Jayrob's great tutorial to see what I did so no need to repeat it.
Tutorial: Star Trek Phaser Mod! - Green...
I am just using the original 3 volt supply and I didn't add in the blue L.E.D. that he does on the back rotary switch.
Worked on it the past 3 days and just finished tonight.
Here are some pics of it phasing some things:
Firing side view:
Vaporizing a Kabuki on silk:
And a poor tree in the night:
I love it and altogether it was around $90 to make, not bad!
I have also put together another laser this week which consisted of one of DTR's very cool 405nm 700mW (450mA, G-2 Lens) modules in a Survival Laser stainless steel housing and am building another of the same housing but with DTR's new Oclaro 638nm 700mW module once the SL parts I need come in (no rush, Garoq recovering from more severe surgery himself). I put these up in another thread once both are completed.
