This gives the laser a solid base and elevates it above the surface of the overall base. The &#8220;prism&#8221; modules consist of 3 containers I had in my apartment which I filled with water and stuck Velcro to the bottom of. Both the laser and the &#8220;prism&#8221; modules can be manipulated by detaching and reattaching the Velcro on the bottom. The effect of this maquette is somewhat diffuse due to the low quality of the laser and due to the inconsistencies in the prisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/04\/maquette-dark-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/04\/maquette-dark-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/04\/maquette-dark-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/04\/maquette-dark-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/04\/maquette-dark-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/04\/maquette-dark-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/04\/maquette-dark-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/04\/maquette-dark-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary differences between this maquette and the final version are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Velcro replaced with magnets and a steel base<\/li><li>Laser will be significantly upgraded and there will be more than one<\/li><li>Prisms will be glass and have smooth surfaces<\/li><li>Lasers will require a power strip and wire management<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a list of items required for the final design:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Steel Sheet (Look through options at Lowes)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07VKMJJRF\/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1\">Optical Glass Lens and Prism Set 7 Piece<\/a> (On its way)<\/li><li>2X <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laserlands.net\/1655-focusable-515nm-10mw-30mw-green-diode-laser-module.html\">10 mW Green Dot Laser<\/a> (On its way)<\/li><li>2X <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laserlands.net\/1255-650d.html\">5 mW Red Dot Laser<\/a> (On its way)<\/li><li>Magnets (Find at Lowes)<\/li><li>Power Strip with Surge Protector (Find at Lowes)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07LBSFZWJ?psc=1&amp;ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details\">12mm Pipe Straps<\/a> (Received)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07LBF6NC4?psc=1&amp;ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details\">16mm Pipe Straps<\/a> (Received)<\/li><li>Small Wood Screws (Purchased at Lowes)<\/li><li>Black Paint (Find at Lowes)<\/li><li>Super Glue (Find at Lowes)<\/li><li>Plywood or similar (Find at Lowes)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Next Steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Acquire the rest of the supplies from Lowes (by 4\/10)<\/li><li>Paint all necessary components (by 4\/12)<\/li><li>Attach magnets to prisms (by 4\/14)<\/li><li>Cut circles from plywood for laser modules (by 4\/15)<\/li><li>Build the Laser modules (by 4\/16)<\/li><li>Attach power strip and cable management systems to the sheet metal (by 4\/18)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If I am able to complete these steps in time, I will be left with extra time to create a custom prism.
