LowRider 3 CNC - DIY Plasma - Add-on - Laser Holders (Red Sight-Line Lasers) for Target Crosshairs v1.0

This video not only shows how these laser crosshairs are installed and work on my DIY plasma rig, but also details how I designed these holders from scratch — from start to finish using SketchUp (free 2017 version, the last free version that could be installed locally on a computer).

Full details on my DIY CNC plasma rig:

• Check out my YouTube video series on how I made my CNC Plasma rig, based on LowRider v3 mostly printed CNC. 
• Also check out my build log thread with full details on the V1 Engineering forum. 
• I also have a “CNC Plasma Cutter” collection here on Printables. 
• Finally, some printable items for my plasma rig are made available to my patrons via my Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/design8studio.

BEFORE (no laser crosshairs):

AFTER:

I may yet wire the lasers to the 5v power supply in my control box, but for now I’m up and running with the battery pack that holds three AA batteries. I am using normal (not rechargeable) batteries.

Print / assembly info:

• Prints as oriented.
• Prints without supports. 
• Suggested: either 2 perimeter walls (0.6 nozzle) or 3 perimeter walls (0.4 nozzle).
• 20% infill
• I printed using 0.6 nozzle with 0.3 layer height and 0.6 wall line width, but they should also print well with 0.4 nozzle using same settings (emulating 0.6) or regular settings.
• Use two M3 x 10mm screws, one in each holder, to tighten the flanges to “clamp” the laser diodes into the holders.
