thingiverse

**WRITE-UP IN PROGRESS (11/27/2017)** Current inspiration is derived from one mount I discovered here - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2016128 I sought the ability to turn my laser on and off with a toggle switch due to using the cooling fan for power, which would cause the laser to turn on when it was not desired, now my laser is 100% safer. The laser is powered by the cooling fan, making it very easy to wire up and start etching! **PLEASE REMEMBER TO ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN USING LASERS** **Current Version:** v6 : 11/25/2017 : Designed in Fusion360 **Latest Changes:** : 11/27/2017 - Added more pictures of laser in progress and examples of practice cuts - Test fit and wired mount - More hole correction due to shrinkage - Upgraded magnet location to hold 0.75" Neodymium Magnet for more holding power. - Increased hole sizes to make up for heat shrink - Added Logo/No Logo Options - Relocated holes for better alignment **Upcoming Changes:** - Resize magnet hole for press fitting, currently sits in nice, but you have to superglue it in to make sure it stays when pulling off metal. **Software:** - Inkscape - https://inkscape.org/en/release/0.92.2/ - J Tech Plugin - https://jtechphotonics.com/?page_id=2012 - Raster 2 GCode - https://hackaday.io/project/4828-raster-2-laser-gcode-generator **Parts List: (Ongoing)** Toggle Switch : https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Position-Miniature-Switch-Latching/dp/B01MZC348L/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1511375545&sr=8-5&keywords=slide+toggle+switch Laser : https://www.banggood.com/445nm-2_5W-2500mW-Blue-Laser-Module-With-Heatsink-For-DIY-Laser-Cutter-Engraver-p-993521.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=USA JST Connector Kit : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MCZE2HM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 JST Crimp : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OMM4YUY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Magnet : https://www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Basic-Crafts/Magnets/20mm-Power-Magnets/p/51413 **If you like the design, feel free to send a tip using Crypto's!** Bitcoin Tip Address : 1FEMcSdY19L1BNiLzkfc8eySGdrhqyf4Pu BitcoinCash Tip Address : 1A4cUAZa23mg95REeUQLhac8wDDJcGvaBb Litecoin Tip Address : LLsy8pfTRThVpQmsjUTMtJmsGrcpqFdNYd Ethereum Tip Address : 0x6814b3584bef4bb2bbf8250fb93dfcff36036c10
