White laser...spiro!

[rog8811]

The white handheld has progressed to the experiment and mod stage so I thought a new post was in order.

I have added a couple of items to the top end, a couple of mirrors and motors....

One mounts to the optics unit...

The other on this ring which is a press fit in the top shroud...

This will fit here....

Movie to follow

The movie is crap, colour wise, but it shows at one point me twisting the front of the laser, this brings the mirrors into line and turns on the motors. There is a pot on the back end of the laser to change the patterns.....

Awesome work! You did a great job of making everything fit. That must have kept the grey matter churning for a while.

That must have kept the grey matter churning for a while.

It most certainly did ....a few sleepless nights went into this one.
