Call of Duty Ray Gun

thingiverse

I designed this ray gun model to be electrifyingly vivid. To allow wire passage, I hollowed out its internal structure. A transparent plastic sheet painted a clear blue color serves as the visible portion of the plasma chamber. The translucent side gauge components were cut from a 1-gallon milk jug. The sound effects and some lights came from a $3 toy light saber found at Target. Two separate circuits control lighting and sound. The switch on the side turns on main lighting (blue, red, green, and yellow), while the trigger functions as a momentary switch linked to two AA batteries housed in the side gauge parts. This area also features a speaker and sound board from the toy light saber. To ensure proper opening and closing, I filed down the hinge. I recently updated the grip for this ray gun model. An atomic symbol is now at the top (a detail I initially overlooked). I also extended the battery compartment through the handle (requiring a Dremel to fit a 9-volt battery). On a separate note, I chose not to create a sight since it would likely snap if 3D printed. Instead, one could use the wand from a bottle of children's bubbles as an alternative.
