3D model description

WRITE-UP IN PROGRESS (11/27/2017)

Current inspiration is from one mount I found here - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2016128
I wanted the ability to turn my laser on and off with a toggle switch due to using the cooling fan for power. It would turn the laser on when it was not wanted, now my laser is 100% safer.

The laser is powered by the cooling fan which makes it very easy to wire up and start etching!

PLEASE REMEMBER TO ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN USING LASERS

Current Version: v6 : 11/25/2017 : Designed in Fusion360

Latest Changes: : 11/27/2017
- Added more pictures of laser in progress and examples of practice cuts
- Test fit and wired mount
- More hole correction due to shrinkage
- Upgraded magnet location to hold 0.75" Neodymium Magnet for more holding power.
- Increased hole sizes to make up for heat shrink
- Added Logo/No Logo Options
- Relocated holes for better alignment

Upcoming Changes:
- Resize magnet hole for press fitting, currently sits in nice, but you have to superglue it in to make sure it stays when pulling off metal.
