Upgraded K40 Laser Lens and Mirror bases

thingiverse

I am creating a new gantry for my K40 laser cutter and I am using cutting-edge laser heads and mirror mounts from Cloudray (purchased directly through Amazon). Since I couldn't find any 3D models of them online, I created my own designs for use in my own custom design. I decided to share them here so that others can benefit from my modeling expertise. All dimensions are based on precise caliper measurements. They are definitely not flawless, but they should be extremely accurate and certainly good enough to use in your own projects. There are three models: Laser Head, 1st Mirror Base, and 2nd Mirror Base. NOTE: I purchased (and modeled) the 18mm diameter lens version. Each of these three parts is actually an assembly in itself, but I did not model screws and parts separately, as it seemed like a waste of time. So the three models are part files, with basic screws, etc modeled into the solid part. The things that are crucial for use in making your own laser cutter parts (the relative dimensions between reflecting surfaces, position of cutting plane, etc) are captured in the models along with a 2D drawing, in case the DTM planes don't come through in your CAD program. As always, I have uploaded STEP and native SolidWorks files along with the STLs. DISCLAIMERS: I did not design these parts. I purchased them from Amazon and measured the parts I purchased.
