Development
This weapon (they come as a pair, but they’re identical so I only had to design one) uses a unique design of not really having a standard ‘trigger’, instead having more of a futuristic pressure plate setup. There are also a couple of looping decorative pieces that give the aesthetics of the weapon a sweeping effect. This will make the physical creation of the model difficult, as these parts will not be easily compatible with an FDM printer, and they are likely to be too large to be easily printed in resin.
The weapon also includes a floating/levitating crystal, which I originally designed to be suspended using a thin steel rod. However, as I still needed to power the LED that sits inside that crystal, I instead ended up using a translucent PETG tube. So far, from all accounts, this has given the appropriate effect!
