If you want to build your own optical experiment, here are the light sources you need. Here you will find a laser housing and mount suitable for any standard laser module (for eye safety use class 1 lasers) with a diameter of 9mm or 10mm. These components are essential for polarisation, imaging and interference experiments. All you have to do is print the parts, glue the laser into the housing and clamp it with a M4 nut and screw it into the ***Frame*** component.
To attach your light source to a post, post holder or optical bench, just have a look at our basic components, [here on Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6920911). For further information check our website https://printedlabs.uni-bayreuth.de/en/modelldatenbank.
###***PrintedLabs***
Are you looking for exciting projects and creative experimentation in the ***STEM*** field? Then visit our website [**PrintedLabs.Uni-Bayreuth.de**](https://printedlabs.uni-bayreuth.de/en?target=_blank) and take a look around. Whether you are a ***teacher***, ***student*** or ***hobbyist*** and curious about physics and other STEM subjects - we offer a platform with a constantly growing selection of ***project ideas, DIY lab equipment from the 3D printer and matching software***. Plus, of course, the necessary tutorials and assembly instructions.
To get started yourself, download our 3D models, software and instructions **for free** and experience for yourself how easy and inexpensive it is to realise your own experiments. With PrintedLabs, we not only want to awaken the joy of science and STEM subjects, but also promote analytical thinking, problem-solving skills and structured working methods. Our claim to ourselves is:
- To make science and STEM subjects fun through self-built "lab equipment" and its application.
- Developing analytical and creative thinking, problem-solving skills and learning structured working methods for setting up and carrying out scientific experiments.
- The teaching of basic knowledge of data processing and the evaluation and interpretation of measurement data.
- Good performance for detailed experimental results.
- Compatibility of all components and associated software.
- Simple and cost-effective assembly using standard tools and additional components.
- Robust 3D-models in printing, production and handling.
- High modularity to enable "free experimentation".
