SHAPEOKO CNC laser Holder JTech Photonics

thingiverse

The Holder is crafted to complement a laser provided by JTech Photonics, perfectly aligning it with a CNC machine like the Shapeoko (XXL in my case, but other sizes will work equally well). The JTech Photonics laser kit, available at https://jtechphotonics.com/, serves as an excellent extension for your shapeoko machine. After working with it for 100 hours, I can confidently say that it has performed flawlessly for my needs. For my purposes, I opted for a middle-range power setting (2.8 W), which enables me to cut through paper, fabric, or thin wood or plastic sheets with ease. The design itself is straightforward and unassuming, requiring minimal adjustment. It securely mounts onto the provided support and protection of the DeWalt router, which comes standard with the machine. As you can see in the picture, the holder also includes an additional support for laser safety. Furthermore, it features a setup for attaching the fan that comes included in the JTech Photonics laser kit. Please note that this design only includes the holder itself; the protection seen in the image is comprised of separate components not uploaded here. I strongly advise taking extra precautions to ensure your safety while working with lasers. Never use the Holder without proper safety glasses, as you are solely responsible for implementing and maintaining your own safety measures and protocols.
