I'm a big fan of the Dr. Grordbort's Infallible Aether Oscillator rayguns designed by Greg Broadmore and released by Weta Workshops. They are a wonderful blend of mechanical obsurdity and sillynesss. My favorite was the F.M.O.M. Industries Wave Disrupter Gun. Unfortunately I was unable to obtain one of these fine weapons when they were available so I have resorted to the next best thing. Using my matter replication device (3D printer) to create one of my own!
The first step was to create the raygun as a 3 dimensional model using Rhino modeling software. Here are a couple of views of the work in progress:
Next step was to break the model down into printable parts. a few of the parts, like the fin, will be laser cut and some of the finer details made in metal.
Not it's off the the laboratory to start printing!
