Prusa I3 Extruder + Laser X-Carridge

thingiverse

This is a X-cartridge for a prusa I3 3D printer with a hot end and cutting/engraving laser. It fits the rods and bushings that were recommended in the original Prusa build plan. I'm using a E3D V6 Hotend as extruder as the hot end but just about any extruder will work. The main body also has the standard hole pattern for the Chinese diode lasers. Extra holes could easily be drilled though the the pattern doesn't work for you. Important Laser Safety: Lasers are a great tool and are really fun to watch. Never ever look at them without proper laser goggles. Even the reflections can instantly blind you. Be safe, wear your PPE 100% of the time.
