I believe mine are around 40lb strength, but those alone don't hold great since the force on them is sideways as opposed to directly away from the faces. I'll likely have to use stronger magnets in the gyro lens and beam focuser since they don't have the arms to lock them in place.
Been a little while but here's some progress. I got the splitter barrel molded and the first casting done today, I'll be painting and assembling them when I get the chance this week.
Thanks! Unfortunately progress has been slow so there's not a whole lot to show. I've got some other projects I'd like to get done by the end of the year as well but I'll be putting in a little work on it here and there.
The emitter is close to done, still needs some fillets in corners and some...
Thank you! For the rusted look I used paint from sophisticated finishes. The base metal was their stainless steel paint that won't rust, then I went in and added blotches of iron paint that will rust with an activator. That way the whole piece isn't rusted when I brush on the rust activator and...
No laser rifle updates except that I've ordered silicone for the rifle barrel.
Here's a related project I finished a while ago though:
Modeled by me in AutoCAD with working activation for the pistons and printed on a resin printer
then molded and cast with smooth cast 325 resin with florescent...
Thank you, I've currently got enough laser cut aluminum pieces for 4 or 5 pistol sets but it will be a while before I finish all of the additional pieces(rifle barrel/sights/stocks)
Not a whole lot of progress on the splitter barrel but the arms got a quick junk mold made to make a full set of 4
Thank you, I did go off of the game files. The rifle triggers texture on the model looks to have a screw or rivet where I made the pivot. The disk the other end sits in also seems to have an arc groove in it that I modified to be in line with the pivot.
