USB Laser Duck

Rubber duckies are great and all, but they don't have enough lasers. I was hoping that the little guys would evolve in the right direction, but it took too long so I had to take matters into my own hands. Oh, and of course it needs to be powered by USB.

Step 1 Get your stuff

USB cable? Check.
2 6mm red laser diodes from dealextreme? Check.
Rubber duckie? Oh yeah

tell me, what exactly is the function of a rubber duck?

[cronama]

"I need yor boots yor clothes and yor and yor bathtub" naw but seriously that things creepy

[Jedrokivich]

How many volts does the USB put out?

[oweng4000]

Digital Standard Voltage is 5v. So that's what your USB will be outputting.

It was perceived as an harmless, cute little child's duckie. Now, it's Laser Duckie, the most evil looking children's toy! Dun, Dun, Dun!

[auggie003]

he's got a wire up his butt

[zapper067]

Rubber Duckies has now became dangerous...I will never trust anyone with rubber duckies again.

[natter37]

This is stupid but when usb did u use :P

[fungus amungus]

Any item with a USB cable that you can use will work. You will be destroying the original use, of course. Just cut the cable, they all use the same wires.

hahahaa....its Cuteeee....kwek kwek...

[dyly]

That thing is demonic!

[EngineeringShock]

So cool!
I might make one of these to freak out my girlfriend!

[TheEnemy]

i use 2 watt laser diode so it burn stuff LOL.

[DemeGeek]

Why not house a battery in the ducky? It would make it more portable! Also if you get one that has the little hole in the mouth(Could drill one otherwise I suppose.) you could add a motion season in it

[fungus amungus]

It could have a battery and a motion detector and a smoke machine (maybe), but I was going for something simple.

[rrrmanion]

do you think I could get away with making a giant one and calling it art?

[quantumkittty]

DO EET NAO lol, sell it to an art museum. knowing how strange our art is today, you could get millions XD

[djlewis725]

Yeah really, today people pay millions for splatters on paper called "art".

[rrrmanion]

too much effort, maybe for gcse art though

[deth2all]

DOOOD, You need to czech out the "laser flashlight hack" instructable..... lasers that can pop balloons and burn stuff then will be born...... USB LASER DUCK OF DEATH

[SenKat]

Eh - you REALLY need to check out some other tutorials on LPF (www.laserpointerforums.com ) rather than "The Great Kip-Kay". You'll have more fun, your lasers will last a LOT longer, and you wight learn some basic electronic theory while you are at it ! I LOVE the duckie, though ! NICE work !

[fungus amungus]

LPF is a great site. I haven't built anything along those lines, but it's one of many bookmarks. Thanks for commenting!

[SenKat]

I apologize for the mini-jack of your comment thread :( Twas NOT my intention ! THIS 'Ible is simply phenominal - I LOVE IT ! I had to show my wife, since she seems to think that every-day items cannot be made cool as hell with lasers ! EVERYTHING is better with lasers added ! Ooooooooooooo - can you imagine a laser-pointer with a built in laser pointer ? Imagine the possibilities ! 8-D

I'ma a big fan of your work - I actually FINALLY founf the "favorites" button, too ! (DOH !)

[TimeDroid]

"Rubber Duckie you’re the one,

[martzsam]

Hmmmm... Class 4 laser eyes? It might just do the trick to massacre the muppets.
