Just been too busy! It's a Rabbit Laser RL-60-9060. Will eventually get to it.

I've never listed anything for sale here but see the classifieds seem to be mostly woodworking equipment. Is that the place to post a laser?

Thanks. And yes, it is interlocked.

OK, I've completed the first prototype of version 2 of this pointer. Much more compact and accurate.

Michael, the video you mentioned is from Russ who I mentioned in my first post. I've watched all of his videos. He and I have been going back and forth on this project I'm working on. They are an...

I appreciate the comments. I'm working on a more compact version 2 at the moment. Will post when I get something to show.

I agree that will definitely affect the alignment. What I meant is that it would affect where the diode hits mirror one relative to where the beam hits mirror one.

I'm already working on version...

Rich, contaminating the output window how? I don't understand what you mean.

And actually it being off a fraction or even more wouldn't make any difference as long as the tube itself isn't moved toward or away from mirror one. Once the beam is steered so everything is...

No, you don't have to remove the tube to make it fit. Just slips right over the end and affixes with the four set screws. If you're asking how you get the arm to swing down perfectly in the right...

I was toying around with finding a way to get a red diode laser through all three mirrors to help with alignment as well as just generally wanting to see the path of the beam. I've been going back...

Yep, I was pretty skeptical but he responded that he had two of them and the one I was bidding on was the last one he had. I took a leap of faith. He had good feedback.

Finally got home and tested this thing out. I have an EFR 1200CL laser tube in my machine. It's rated at 60 watts nominal 70 watts max at 22ma according to the manufacturer's web site. The people...

Don, I found the same power meter you ordered listed by the same seller you ordered from. I was looking at about the time you started this thread. I was worried maybe it was some kind of scam since...

I'm happy to share the STL file for 3D printing however I'm not sure how editable an STL file is. My tube size where the tube goes through the bracket would most likely be different than everyone...

Gene, for the violet laser I ordered this...

For the red...

Kev, thanks for sharing your solution. How do you align it to be concentric with the laser?

Thanks. Yes, I guess I must have more room. I can run to all travel extents with no problem. Using a Lulzbot Mini.

The pointer that came on my laser was pretty fiddly to say the least. I set out to design something better. The first picture below was one of the prototypes shown above the existing bracket I...

Oh I'm very familiar with the tape. Just thought this might be kind of cool. I hadn't though of corian. I could definitely turn that down on a lathe.

At the beginning of the video you see what looks like a hot spot in the upper right of the frame. That was from a video I took yesterday with the focal lens on the head. I believe it actually...

Here's a video.

I'm sure this is an odd idea but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a material that I can fire the laser at but that won't burn. Would need it to be something I could make into a small disk shape or...

Sorry Don, just noticed your reply. Not sure what you mean by the darker tones.

I decided to check my alignment recently. It was off and I started going through the typical procedures to align everything. I never could quite get it right and figured it was good enough. I did...
