Hi Thanks for this idea, I have been toying with doing this on my new build as the trouble with a beam converter is the laser light comes out after 3 mirrors very poorly and living here in Spain with the increased light levels you can hardly see it at all and seeing it working here has confirmed to me its the best way forward although I will opt for two straight lines and hope that is what will arrive!!! Rather than make it from PLA or ABZ I think I will machine it out of aluminium on my mill. its gets a tad warm in the lasing chamber with a 150 watt tube . Its been nice to see it working so thanks for the heads up on this and of course the STL file over at Printables By the way why dont you pop a little low voltage motor on to your bed with a up down switch to make life easier?
This looks really good! Do you pulse a burn mark and then rotate the laser lines until they cross over the laser burn dot? I have seen some crosshairs that don't cross on the burn mark , rather run parallel to the laser head and the offset amount is measured and this measurement is added to the settings in Lightburn. Not sure which method would be the most accurate!
Sorry but I am not going to make these for others as every laser is different and I don't have the time to do it and teach people how to align it the first time. If you know someone that has a 3D printer I did share the file on the Prusa depository.
Hello, I might but your laser head (last part before the cone) would need to be the same size as mine. I would only really make the plastic parts and let you get your own line lasers off Amazon
@@ericfletcher8454 Oh sorry, they are just cheap "line laser modules" off Amazon, no brand names. Every time I have bought them they come from a different seller (they are handy for many things). They run off 5V so they can directly replace the one in the CO2 or even be used with a USB cable.

Yes, you pulse, then adjust the line lasers so they cross the dot left on the material.
thanks so much. Making mine now :)@@terrymakes3613
Would you consider sending me the Stl file I could make my own. Also love the ratchet adapter.
Hello, I just added it to the Prusa repository. Once there search for "2 Line laser mount for CO2 laser"
Where did you buy the threaded insert and what size tanks
McMaster Carr but you can get them in lots of places. They are for M3 screws.
Very nice. What wattage of the laser do you use? 5mW? 10mW? or? 🙂
The line lasers are 5mW cheap lasers off Amazon
i had same idea, just figuring out if someone had already made it, then you video. thanks for the modeling skipping ☺️
The model is on Printable
I do not have a printer. What would you charge? I am in usa

Would you make this for someone?

Checked and mine is 24.4mm diameter, so if yours is very close to that (a few mm either way) then it should fit.
where can I get the file?

@@terrymakes3613 and where is that repository?
@@ericfletcher8454 Well, TH-cam does not allow links in comments so I cannot point right to it but it's prusaprinters and dot org
@@terrymakes3613 Thanks! Got it
Which Lasers did you use?
Omtech 60w It's a Chinese model sold by Orion motor tech.
@@terrymakes3613 no what laser line pointers?
