Beast Rabban's Lost Pistol

In this guide, we're building a Dune inspired movie replica using 3D Printing and electronics. Beast Rabbon's pistol is a unqiue harkonnen weapon that was never seen in David Lynch's 1984's Dune. There are only two images of the pistol on the net and currently isn't anyway to get one. 

3D Printing Movie Replicas

This project combines the original pistol with functional features. A Trinket micro-controller reads an EZ4 rangefinder and writes the distance in centimeters onto a 14-segment LED display.
