CNC Laser housing V2.2 for 12 mm diameter laser Diode

thingiverse

The 2000mW Diode is operating successfully, and an image of an engraving on aluminum plate has been included. The diode works perfectly with automatic on/off triggering through Gcode, using "Simply Cam 2" as the 2D CAM tool. All operations are carried out with WINPC-NC USB on a 3 Axis CNC machine. To enhance the cooling for the upcoming 2000 mW 445 Diode order, a heatsink for LED has been used and the first version has been redesigned to incorporate a 30mm fan blowing air directly through the heatsink for optimal diode cooling. Multiple versions have been added, including one with a 5mm higher body and a rotated fan mount, as well as one without the mounting cylinder for easier installation on different machines. For those unable to edit STL files, this simplifies the process. Additionally, a version has been designed with a cooler from the side, featuring an integrated duct. The diameter of the mount fits a 43mm "Kress Spindle," although support is needed for printing. In Slic3r, a 4mm rectangular grid is recommended for optimal results. Have fun experimenting!
