Laser Case

thingiverse

This is technically a remix of an ecig mod case, with the basic shape serving as the foundation for a heavily modified laser holder. The goal was to create portable DIY lasers for entertainment purposes, which led to acquiring various size and color lasers - three sizes are currently available: 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm tops. Standard 18650 batteries were chosen along with a micro USB charger Part # TP4056 and Pololu Adjustable Step-Up/Step-Down Voltage Regulator S7V8A, both of which were conveniently sourced from Amazon. The voltage regulators are particularly useful as they maintain a constant voltage regardless of the input, making them ideal for powering lasers that operate at different voltages. Additionally, the TP4056 charger features low-voltage protection for added safety. Epoxy was used to secure the switch, while hot glue held everything else in place - including the top. Due to the tight fit, some sanding may be necessary to ensure all parts align properly. It bears repeating that working with lasers can be hazardous; therefore, exercise caution and prudence at all times. With laser technology advancing rapidly, it's possible to find high-powered lasers at affordable prices, making this project an exciting yet potentially perilous endeavor.
