Bracket for Endurance Laser on an Anet A2 3D printer

thingiverse

This design serves as a mounting bracket for a diode laser assembly from Endurance Lasers. Unfortunately, I don't have access to all the dimensions of Endurance's laser housing assemblies, but this particular design is tailored for a 50mm square unit. In my case, it accommodates the 3.5 watt laser from Endurance Lasers. Based on the pictures provided, I assume this bracket will work with other lasers from Endurance, ranging from 2.1 watts to their 10 watt model. This particular design does not support Anet's 3D printing head. Instead, it replaces the existing head and transforms the Anet framework into a dedicated laser engraving machine. The bracket slides onto the Anet bracket that normally holds the 3D print head extruder. Given Endurance's laser assembly is relatively heavy, I had to create an external support bracket to prevent the laser from tilting forward and pointing in an uneven direction that isn't parallel to the build plate.
