Pxmalion Core i3 Laser Mount

thingiverse

I had my old pxmalion core i3 break down in such a way as to make printing with the extruder impossible. Since I have an Ender 3 now, that was no big deal. Then I found a video which sowed how you can get these cheap laser engraver kits from banggood and I knew what to do with my old printer instead of throwing it out! Unfortunately there was no easy way to ziptie the laser to the old printer, nor any way to use the magnetic mounts with the x-carrage on the PxCore i3 so I whipped up this mount in tinkercad. This bracket will hold any 33mm square housing, 16mm barred laser onto a pxmalion core i3 printer in place of the extruder. [Here is the exact laser I purchased.](https://www.banggood.com/12V-Blue-Violet-Laser-Engraving-Head-Set-For-CR-10-CR-10S-3D-Printer-p-1281920.html?p=JV140519177383201802&custlinkid=216313&cur_warehouse=CN) Here is the video showing how to do this particular project.
