AER9 Laser Rifle

This was my biggest print to date. Luckily it is just a lot of parts. None of the parts are incredibly complicated. I wish you good luck printing.

Will you be printing one with or without the mechanism.

I want to print one with the reloading mechanism, i am also thinking about modifying the energy cell to let it hold the batteries.

Adventurous, I like the idea of making the energy cell hold a battery. It should be doable. If you need help with some things, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Ok, Odd question, where did people find the proper bolts and screws for putting this together? Sadly, the hardware stores around here barely carry ANY metric stuff.

[dragonator]

Most of the stuff can be bought in ordinary hardware stores here in the Netherlands. The grub screw were bought at a bit more specialized suppliers, since most hardware stores don't bother with them. I cannot speak for the USA, I do not live there. I think that this would be a good thing to source online.

Mmm, I checked around online, sadly, it's all "minimum order of 200" or something like that. I'll keep looking around for a metric store. Worst case scenario, I'm only a hour away from Canada.

If your worst case option is an hours drive to Canada, I might have a better option. I still have a small stock and am capable of getting more. Shipping in an envelope is always less than €10. If it is necessary, I could ship the required parts to you. PM me if you have reached this point.

[tom90deg]

Oh no no, My GF and I wanted to go up to Canada anywho, this'll just give us another reason.

[dragonator]

Don't let me stop you from paying a surprise visit to you northerly neighbor. I hope they have the stuff you are looking for. The offer will remain though.

After AGES, I finaly managed to force myself to work on my AER, and it's done! Sadly, I couldn't make it a reloading one, so I had to tweak things a bit, used some plumbers putty, painted silver to hold the necessary bits in place. I think it turned out very well though! Currently printing another Pipboy for my girlfriend, then we'll need to make her a Fat Man, as she's going as a Boomer.

That looks absolutely amazing. Sorry to hear about the reload mechanism, but it still is amazing. Good luck with the Pip-Boy and the Fat Man.
