Pistol grip for a laser

The laser is almost done. Like everything I build, it'll be a half-functioning shadow of what I imagined. But it is bright as fuck; you can feel the heat on the palm of your hand a meter away. I got the final focusing from a lens taken out of an old rifle scope.

The final step is putting a grip on it. Once again, I just have to say how much I love 3D printers. You dream that shit up and you can print it...
