Odicforce laser mount for my Quick Fit Carriage

thingiverse

A mounting plate for a 2W blue laser module made for my Quick Fit Carriage (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1670305). The laser module is made of these Parts from Odicforce (~80€): 1.6W+ blue laser diode (capable of more than 2W) AR coated Lens 2.5A laser current source with TTL Laser heatsink (Dimensions are wrong on the website. These values are correct: ~30mm, ~31.5mm, ~60mm) Suggested: Eye protection glasses You'll need an 40mm 10x 10mm M3 screws and nuts and a Sub-D 26-HD male connector. Soldering is required. The PWM signal of the cooling fan output is used as input for the TTL signal of the driver. However it must be converted by a circuit because it is 12V instead of 5V and it disconnects ground instead of 12V. I chose to use a 40mm fan instead of the 30mm fan to efficiently cool the laser and to blow away the smoke. The module is inside a closed channel to allow for a highly efficient cooling. Print Settings Notes: Please select proper printing orientation. Use my manually designed support structures or geometry as orientation. (I wont reorient the parts myself because Solidworks sometimes breaks drawing relations if solids are reoriented.)
