Handheld Configurable Milestag base unit parts

thingiverse

This collection of parts comes together to form a housing for an Arduino laser tag core module, specifically designed as a wrist-mounted laser blaster intended to be less gunlike in appearance. This prototype unit was developed to provide a client with their own product based on this design, although the final files cannot be shared due to confidentiality agreements. The parts fit seamlessly together and effectively house the electronics, allowing for easy conversion into a more traditional laser blaster shape if desired. The Arduino kit used in this project can be sourced from lasertagparts.com, where a comprehensive package is available. A 2-inch PVC pipe serves as the "laser tube," which should be fitted with a lens to enhance range and accuracy. The parts are being shared with the hope that others may find use for them, as further development of this project is unlikely. The design utilizes M3 bolts and heat set inserts from mcmaster.com, ensuring secure assembly of the components. The main board fits snugly into the long rectangle, while the sensor protrudes through the lid, the "laser" tube routes through the side pod, and the speaker exits through the front. The LCD display is situated at the back on a dedicated mount with an on/off switch and status buttons, and the trigger is housed in the joystick-like component attached to the side arm plates. The cable for the trigger runs down the middle channel, and the trigger switch is secured by screws, although this detail may not be entirely accurate due to memory limitations.
