3018 Quick Mount for laser

This side mount can be used for quick laser jobs. Takes like 10-15 seconds to setup. Just slide the laser into the mount, attach the control box using some self-adhesive magnets and make the connections. Although you do lose 55mm on the left side of your X axis so for larger laser engravings you can easily remove the mount when installing the laser the normal way. Print the spindle side standing as in the stl with or without supports, I went without with no problem. Print the laser side standing but stop the print after about 10mm and use that part to check the fit, it should be pretty snug. When you're happy with the size lay the part narrow side down on the print surface in your slicer so the counter-sunk holes are face up and print with or without supports, again I went without with no problems. Also this part has smooth edges on the side that is touching the build plate as in the stl. After printing that side faces the bottom of the laser to help smooth installation. Uses x2 3x12mm flat head screws.

I used this speaker mount to make this. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3026660
