Lid/Cover Switch Mount for K40 Laser

thingiverse

This mounting base serves a vital purpose - it provides an additional layer of safety for those who operate a low-cost Chinese K40 laser. To install it, you'll need to apply glue or double-sided tape to secure the mount firmly onto the chassis of your laser cutter. No drilling is required, making this process relatively straightforward. The micro switch attachment involves using two M3 hex screws with nuts, which can be securely fastened into place. It's worth noting that the horizontal space between screw holes (measured from center to center) is 22mm, while the vertical space is 11mm. To print the mounting base, simply use an L-shaped design and position the screw holes on your build plate. One popular option for the micro switch itself is the B00BXHN0J2 model available on Amazon.
