thingiverse

The support is designed for use with a 52 mm spindle, found at https://www.aliexpress.com/item/cnc-spindle-500W-air-cooled-0-5kw-milling-Motor-spindle-speed-power-converter-52mm-clamp-13pcs/32341330193.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.RvbNxB, and a 2500mw laser module, available at http://www.banggood.com/445nm-2_5W-2500mW-Blue-Laser-Module-With-Heatsink-For-DIY-Laser-Cutter-Engraver-p-993521.html?rmmds=myorder. It utilizes four small magnets that can be sourced from the optical head of old CD-ROM drives, as explained in detail at http://www.instructables.com/id/Cd-and-DVD-drives-their-treasures-Macro-pics-all/. The design aims to make the laser module easily detachable by employing the magnets for this purpose. The four screws on the corners facilitate alignment between the two pieces. The magnets fit snugly into the designated locations in the supports, as depicted in a picture with an arrow pointing out the magnet's position. A distance of approximately 0.4 mm separates the magnets from the external surface.
