I now introduce to you the star wars jango fett blaster pistol mod!!
This is one of my first full laser builds so I hope you enjoy it. Some of the features that are built into this gun include full sound effects that came with the housing and a detachable laser aperture to quickly change out the laser and driver for different wavelengths.
It has a 405nm 12X laser inside the aperture. With the front piece removable though you can easily change out the laser and driver if they are both placed inside with a detachable clip (as seen below). Some of the difficulties of this build was rebuilding the entire inside of the housing as originally the speaker assembly was where the laser needed to go and removing all the stock switches that were on the circuit board and resoldering on a momentary switch on so it could be relocated away from the trigger.
All together this was a fun build to do and if you are more of a star wars fan instead of a trekkie (no offense) this might be a good build for you!
before you see the pics I would like to thank Pat for the help he gave me with showing his phaser mods for inspiration and all the pointers from his build, DTR for helping with the diode assembly and laser suggestions, and Jayrob for help in the lens selections. Also a quick thanks to the forum on laser eyewear so I could locate and purchase the correct eyewear for safety.
So without further ado here it some pictures of it.
I have not taken any full beamshots yet but will upload sometime this or next week.
Let me know what you think of it.
