Creality Falcon2 Pro - No collision 22w/40w & 60w Crosshair Laser Holder w/ Switch

Falcon2 Pro Collection

This is a holder for a 5V 5mW laser crosshair pointer for the Creality 22w/40w/60w laser module used to line up material on the bed for cutting accurately and set back far enough so as to not collide with the front of the printer when using the homing button.

This is used with LightBurn to create an easily viewable crosshair, offset from the cutting laser for lining up material for cutting in a predictable way at a given point.

5V 5mW laser Crosshair

Hardware:

1x10mm M3 machine screw and nut

USBc cable end (plugs in to USBC port on laser module) - your cable may vary but my red wire was positive and the braided wire was my ground. I put heat shrink over the braided wire and only exposed the end to solder.

Rocker switch - 9x14 opening.

Mount using existing screws on laser head or 10mm screws.

Once assembled, focus laser first on a cutting surface, then rotate laser body to line up square before securing in place. I use the rails on the bottom of the cutting area to line up across the top edge. Put a piece of tape over the ring to hold it in place with the laser body or push up to clamp in place so it does not wander out of alignment/focus.

Lighburn Laser Offset Setup Procedure

Edit → Device Settings → Laser Offset → Enable pointer offset

(my laser offset settings for this in Lighburn - verify on your end)

X: 46.5mm

Y: -23mm

If not familiar, you line up the laser pointer cross on your material where this green dot is in your design in Lightburn. This makes up the difference from where your pointer is vs the laser head position. I found exporting this design from Lightburn and importing in Fusion360, adding some lines to keep pieces together and printing a template was helpful to line up my designs on my material.

Adjust this green dot as needed and line up your laser pointer on your material where this green dot would be and set to start cutting from this current position.
