Mini Laser Engraver Upgrade Parts #3DThursday #3DPrinting

From profhankd on Thingiverse:
These are the 3D printed part designs that go with my Instructable, Making Your Mini Laser Engraver Safer And Better. They are designed to be used with any of the SuperCarver-style “Laser Engraver Printer Cutter Carver DIY Engraving Machine” units commonly sold for between $80 and $150, and I have applied them to a 1000mW @ 405nm unit branded HTPOW. See the after and before photos above.
These machines have the potential to very quickly cause significant harm. I’m not an expert in the law, nor in laser safety; I’m just a maker who sees the potential, both good and bad, of these little engravers. You bear all responsibility for safe configuration and operation of your laser. I’m just describing what I did to my machine in an attempt to reduce the risk and improve functionality.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
