Anet A8 Laser Mount

thingiverse

I've designed a mount for the laser I bought from Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/500mw-405NM-focusing-blue-purple-laser-module-laser-engraving-TTL-module-500mw-laser-tube-Laser-module/32562052620.html A newer version is now available that supports another popular module as well. I created this design because all the other designs I found required me to remove the entire carriage and reattach the belts. With this design, you only need to remove the cooling fan. Update 08/11/2017: I modified the model a bit in order to fit another popular laser module: https://www.banggood.com/445nm-2_5W-2500mW-Blue-Laser-Module-With-Heatsink-For-DIY-Laser-Cutter-Engraver-p-993521.html I haven't tested it yet, but when I do, I will update with new video and pictures. Original file: laser_mount_anet_a8.stl New version: laser_mount_anet_a8_1.1v.stl The new version supports both modules; I recommend printing this one.

Make sure you follow all precautions for working with lasers, wear relevant glasses for the laser's wavelength, etc. You can very easily blind yourself and others or even burn down your house!
