I bought the Vector weapon kit from the MAKE magazine, and found out that the Acrylic plates I thought would come with it weren't included.

I didn't want to disappoint my 9 year old son who was looking forward to the project, so he designed on paper what he wanted he wanted his gun to look like, and I made the design in Solidworks (under his watchful eye).

We printed the gun a couple of times to get the hand grip feel right, and then soldered together the kit and installed in the gun case. Awesome weekend project and lots of "Peww Peww" noises enjoyed by all (except my wife). This project made him think about the next "Hack" upgrade with laser out the front and lighted sights. Something to look forward to!

Enjoy!
