Orion Finderscope Laser Mount

thingiverse

I designed my own laser pointer holder in Fusion360 since none of the ones available on Thingiverse fit my Orion 6x26 and 9x50 finderscopes perfectly. The design is built to hold securely without slipping off, ensuring it doesn't clip around the finders like some other designs do. The 6x26 finder had a simple slide-on-slide-off mechanism for the laser pointer, but it was still snugly in place. For the 9x50 finder, I needed to remove the objective lens and assemble it again before attaching the mount. This design works well enough as is, so I don't see any need for improvements at this point. To complete my setup, I also designed a protective cover for the eyepiece of the 9x50 finder.
