According to author, it costed him about 1000 zł - it's about 300 USD. Laser diodes are taken from DVD burners and Blu-ray readers, he also used current stabilizers taken from HP printer, but the most expensive parts, being half the cost, were galvos, used for moving the ray.
He said that it's certainly unsafe, and not only because of potential eye damage -- combined static ray is capable of burning through the cardboard and creating skin burns.

- dspillett 15y agoGetting it exported from his country and imported to yours might involve some expensive fun-and-games though, and I'd be inclined to offer more for his time then the $300 above the parts cost, and you need to account for the fact that a lot of his parts were scavenged (if he'd had to more of the parts new it could significantly raise the cost).
