Ray Gun
Using lasers to make even more lasers!

- Safety First: Ensure workspace is free of fire, electrical and other safety hazards. Be aware of all safety issues when cutting materials with a laser. Always have a fire extinguisher on hand
- Power on the laser and all of its components.
- Ensure that:
- The laser is powered and the boot up cycle begins on the screen.
- The cooling system is connected properly and water is flowing through the tube.
- The air compressor is powered and exhausting air to the laser head.
- The exhaust system is on and vented into a safe location. - Connect to RetinaEngrave 3.0 software using your machine’s touch screen to copy the software IP address into your favorite browser. The Wired IP address is displayed at the bottom of your touch screen.
- Import your design and adjust power and speed settings. Double check settings including the number of passes and cut order.
- Insert material into the laser bed. Use the focus tool to adjust to the top of the material. Focusing should be done each time a new material is introduced.
- Use the “Perimeter” function to ensure that the file will fit within the cutting area. Adjust accordingly.
- Run the job file. Do not leave a job running unattended.
CUT
Import the included files and cut all the pieces from their respective materials. This file contains vector cuts and engravings.
Peel any adhesive off your pieces and arrange them as needed.
Use the pegs to line up your pieces as you glue them together.
Layer the Ray Gun side pieces on both sides as shown.
Slot the barrel and slide it all the way up to the body of the Ray Gun.
Use the slots on the bottom of the barrel to attach the acrylic rings. Large in back, small in front.
Attach the wooden circle to the front of the barrel using the slots.
Gather and arrange the pieces for the base as needed.
Layer the base arm so the piece with the holes is in between the two pieces without, then slot in the discs to keep it together.
Attach the small acrylic pieces to the Silver Base. Be sure to do this before you attach the silver base to the acrylic base, as you may need to bend the laserable plastic to get these pieces in.
Assemble your base using glue as needed.
Now your Ray Gun is ready too display! CAUTION: Full Spectrum Laser is not responsible for any person(s) that are disintegrated by this Ray Gun.
