Pocket Laser Vortex of DOOOOM

Step 5Putting It All Together

Putting It All Together

Look at the first picture to see how it all goes together. Mount the switch and install the battery using a double sided sticky pad. Hot glue the tube in so it's parallel to the base and sides of the box, and half an inch short of where the mirror will be.

*** IF YOU ARE USING A HIGH POWER LASER TAKE FULL PRECAUTIONS FOR THE NEXT STEP ***

Temporarily tape a piece of white paper on the outside of the box over the hole. This will help you centre the emerging laser cone in the exit hole. Insert the laser and switch the motor on. Place the motor in the box in a position where the laser beam hits the centre of the mirror and it projects a circle centrally on the white paper.

Remove the motor and put a good dollop of hot glue at this position. Then replace the motor, re-establish the circle and hold until the glue sets. Take off the paper, screw on the box lid and admire your Pocket Laser Vortex of DOOOOM.
