ELL9 (Thorlabs) breadboard mounting

thingiverse

This is an adapter to mount ELL9 control electronics from Thorlabs onto an optical breadboard. The design exists solely to aid in prototyping, allowing the electronics to be securely fastened while avoiding any shortcuts that might compromise the integrity of the optical breadboard. I added a single hole for M6 mounting and four holes for securing the electronics. I always keep a stock of long 3mm Nylon bolts and nuts on hand, which in this instance I used as spacers. These bolts can be easily clipped or slightly bent to fit specific needs, while their electrical insulating properties make them ideal for prototyping alongside 3D printing technology.
