Laser alignment base

thingiverse

This is a custom-made laser alignment base that can be easily adjusted and calibrated. It utilizes affordable self-adhesive mirrors available online at the website wish.com, which offers high-quality options at an unbeatable price of just $2 for about 100 pieces. The first set of files precisely orients the mirror in 10° increments, providing a high degree of accuracy and control. In contrast, the second set of files offers limitless adjustability thanks to its innovative tapered press fit design. Print Settings ----------------- Printer Brand: Afinia Printer: AFINIA H480 Rafts: The type used is not particularly relevant, as it does not significantly impact the overall outcome. Supports: Similarly, the choice of supports has minimal bearing on the final result. Resolution: The printer operates at a high resolution of 0.25 mm. Infill: Fifty percent infill density was utilized to strike an optimal balance between structural integrity and print speed. Notes: A common challenge in working with 3D modeling is ensuring accuracy, which may necessitate converting measurements from microns to millimeters and scaling them up appropriately – often by a factor of ten. Design Process -------------- Project Parameters: - The selected 3D printer was the Afinia model. - TrueSpace 6.6 software was used for CAD programming. - Art-to-part time: 45 minutes. Project Notes: Both files perform admirably, requiring minimal cleanup and showcasing excellent results with a short processing time.
