Everything Else

This is a gauss rifle made using laser cut EVA foam along with some other materials and techniques by one of my favorite cosplayers. It turns out looking really good!

She is one of my favorites, but I had not seen the video. This was one of the original motivations for me to buy the Glowforge and seeing the entire project like this helps convince me how useful the laser will be for these types of projects. Thanks for the share!

ā€œThen something miraculous happenedā€¦We used our newfound technologies, lasers and 3D printers, not as machines for war, but as a nearly limitless source of creativity.ā€ Thatā€™s awesome. Even more awesome is that the video, ultimately, is about making a prop gun. :joy:

What a fun video from start to end. Thanks for posting!

I have this amusing mental image of pulling the trigger and a very weak metal slug just kind ofā€¦ plopping out.

That was a really great build videoā€¦ Iā€™m looking forward to cutting some foam and seeing how well it works. Awesome.

You can generally get those from most big stores, walmart, kmart, etc. If you have a harbor freight they generally go on sale once a month for $6 for 4 tiles. Great deal. For finer details craft stores have thinner types of EVA usually labeled ā€˜craft foamā€™

Yeah, EVA is so unforgiving. If you make a cut past a seam, that can be a whole lot of trouble

Super clever and excellent detail, the rust and lights are so spot on - the design blows me away (bad pun intended). Im just a novice at this and I see the importance to learn to design and layout the workout mats. So, i ask any and all of you kind contrbuitors for your guideance - any direction is appreciated. Iā€™m currently learning Affinity for designs on my mac. in another lifetime i designed jewlery (pencil and pen)- that world sure has changed and maybe I can come back to it with GF. Thanks all, this is just great and excited as you all are.
