Odicforce laser mount for my Quick Fit Carriage

thingiverse

A custom mounting plate is needed to secure a 2W blue laser module specifically designed for use with my Quick Fit Carriage (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1670305). The laser module itself consists of several components from Odicforce, which cost approximately 80€. These parts include: - A high-powered 1.6W+ blue laser diode capable of exceeding 2W - An AR coated lens for optimal performance - A 2.5A laser current source with TTL capabilities for precise control - A laser heatsink, measuring roughly 30mm x 31.5mm x 60mm in size (contrary to the listed dimensions on the website) - Eye protection glasses are recommended for safe operation To assemble this module, you will need: * 40mm 10x 10mm M3 screws and nuts * A Sub-D 26-HD male connector * Soldering skills are required for assembly The laser's cooling fan output is used as the input signal for the TTL driver. However, it must be converted to a 5V signal from its original 12V, and also must disconnect the ground instead of the 12V. To ensure efficient cooling, I opted for a larger 40mm fan over the standard 30mm fan, which blows away smoke and efficiently cools the laser. The module is situated within a closed channel to maximize heat dissipation. Print Settings: Please choose an appropriate printing orientation based on my custom support structures or geometry. Note that reorienting the parts myself can sometimes cause Solidworks to break drawing relations between solids.
