A different kind of spiro... - Page 2 - Laser Pointer Forums

Delivering.

YouTube - 360Â° RGV Laser Spirograph

I did the PHR 803t lens mod and worked magic. The smoke is really bad tho, it actually blocks the green and violet quite a bit.

HIMNL9 · 07-08-2009, 01:39 PM

It's a good effect ..... a bit chaotic, maybe, but good ..... especially the slow color changing part

FireMyLaser · 07-08-2009, 03:08 PM

I might have gone a little crazy, I know, I know.

rog8811 · 07-08-2009, 03:33 PM

That is very impressive FML, my hat's off to you!
.....Yet another project I will need to add to my list oif things to build

Love it!! Incredible. Could you work up some CAD plans?

Joking.. Really, man. That's possibly the most original and creative thing I've seen here yet

FireMyLaser · 07-09-2009, 12:56 PM

You guys start making me regret posting this. .

Thx for the compliments.

Now we're gonna start asking for the PCB layout, design, materials, etc. etc.

jayrob · 07-09-2009, 09:12 PM

That thing is a trip man! I like the 'ghetto' way you put it all together! It is mesmerizing to watch your Ghetto orb...

What is that red 'halo' around it? Is that a light from one of the motors?

HIMNL9 · 07-10-2009, 08:07 AM

There is a led soldered on the motor

No ..... start asking for the commercially made units for sale ..... j/k

FireMyLaser · 07-10-2009, 11:49 AM

Psst, the key component is...

... Magic Fairy-Dust. You gotta have magic fairy-dust.

Yeah there is a red LED on the top motor, it's for spotting errors in the slip-rings. And it looks cool.

stealthop · 11-11-2009, 05:48 AM

nice , but whats that black box with the knobs and lights ?

xXAxHillbillyXx · 11-11-2009, 08:23 AM

cannot explain how bad a$$ that is!!!

Olfert · 11-13-2009, 11:34 AM

This is soo cool, super amazing build

, really like your "prototyping" work table.

FireMyLaser · 11-13-2009, 03:07 PM

Cool you like it, this thread is a bit old tho.

The black box is the speed controls.

f22warzone · 11-13-2009, 03:59 PM

I have you a name for it The MBM Mass Blinding Machine : ) but really that thing is awsome

3zuli · 11-14-2009, 08:50 AM

How come I never saw this? Firemylaser you have quite an imagination. Very nice work you did there. I like the video

FireMyLaser · 01-10-2010, 09:13 PM

Thank you. I'm surprised this thread is up again(!)

sightfx · 01-10-2010, 11:16 PM

Wow I'm glad it is. The last time I saw it it was only green and seemed more chaotic. It's way more awesome now!

FireMyLaser · 01-10-2010, 11:23 PM

Some might tell that some of the effects are borrowed from the RGV-driver

Exactly my thoughts!

FireMyLaser · 01-11-2010, 01:14 PM

The main hazard is if both motors were to fail with the laser on, because the beam could land anywhere. When it is running the beam is spread out over a VERY large area (it is silly even to compare it with a scanner projector) so the beam is probably not much of a threat. If I one day make a more serious device I will add sensors to monitor the rpm and shutter on the laser.

f22warzone · 01-12-2010, 01:21 AM

you should put a 100W CO2 laser on it so you could have some 360 burning action : ) then the military would probably buy it : )

but your right with it moving that fast the beam is really harmless unless the motors do fail

yen5004 · 03-26-2010, 04:15 AM

i love this 360! i first saw it on you tube when i first started doing research on lasers. i would love to make something like this, it has some neat effects. anyway you can give a tutourial on how you made it, i was thinking there was some brushes you used, i never used them myself. at first i thought you had like five motors in there! anything to shed some light on the project would be greatly appreciated! and ill post what i can recreate!

shockwave88 · 03-26-2010, 11:36 PM
