Step 5Making the Styrofoam base and the clutching mechanism
In this step we will be making the styrofoam base and the clutching mechanism
so go get your sharpest box cutter,
got it? right! lets get to work.
1. take your styrofoam board and cut a rectangle 15cm x 5cm and 1.5cm thick.
2. make a cut in the rectangle from one side 8.5cm down to the middle and about 2.5cm to the left,(see the first picture)
3. make slits to fit the bottom of the motor and the excess wires so the case can sit tightly on the styrofoam.(see the first picture)
4. stick some double-sided tape on the styrofoam and place the case on it. (see the second picture)
5. secure the laser in place to prevent it from sliding around with two pieces of styrofoam. (see the third picture)
6. place a zip-tie on the laser and the botton, dont close it to tight, just enough so it wont move around.(see the forth picture)
7. tie a fishing line to the zip-tie and leave youeself about 21cm of fishing line to work with.(see the fifth picture)
8. run a chopstick through the styrofoam just below the zip-tie, cut the extra.(*the fifth picture shows a toothpick but it snaped under the pressure so i switched to a chopstick and it works fine)
9. take a toothpick and stick it in the styropoam near the end, cut the extra.(see the sixth picture)
10. thread the fishing line below the chopstick and above the toothpick. (see the sixth picture)
11. make a ring the size of the gloves finger out of a zip-tie.
12. tie the end of the fishing line to the ring. (see the sixth and seventh pictures)
almost done!, go on to step 6.
