**USE PROPER SAFETY GEAR WHEN USING LASERS, EVEN WHEN TESTING!**
So, I came over
this guide on instructables by user marzsolt for mounting a laser diode on your MK3 to do some simple engraving. While the guide was great, I thought the mount was a bit complicated and it required screws and inserts that I didn't have on hand. I also did not like that it left parts on the printer when the laser was not in use so I designed my own.
For more information on how to use the laser, check the
guide!
Just as marzsolt, I have included the step-files if anyone want to change the mounting holes for their specific diode.
This mount works on the MK3 (but not with the new fan mount parts "R3" or MK3S) but I see no reason why it wouldn't work on other printers with a NEMA17 motor in a similar position and enough space below, please leave a comment if you fit it on any other printer model/brand.
