I got like 3 laser pointers that i found from a very long time ago and well. i thought it'd be cool if i can put it in a pen. Im wondering though how would i fit the pen with all the batteries into a pen, Which pen too!?
Hmmm first i need to figure out how to take the laser apart without breakage. I just wanted to see what people think.
but dropping it would make it sensitive >.< fragile
Yea i know what your thinking. How bout if my eyez get all hurty? eh... deal with it ^^ -

well it really depends for pen wise. Logically make a KeiSSa (Keityo ComSSa). Then just drill a hole in each cap. The hard part about lasers are how to mount them in the pen without moving. Then take into account a SPINNABLE version. TO be honest, you'd be much better off just making an LED pen.

Why not use the laser pointers as caps?

Actually, you could probably feasibly get this to work. I might try modding something like this later, it would make a really cool spinning effect in a dark + smoky room : O

You'll need to take care of the electronics and make sure they can be housed in a pen. That's not very easy.
Here's a video which may show some relevant electronics in a laser (although for a different purpose): http://www.metacafe.com/watch/756433/laser_flashlight_hack/ -

Well remember how heavy a laser is, so unless you have two you would need to put it at the center. You could always just buy two of those pen-shaped green lasers and mod them together with some grips or something.
