Anyone add custom tool mounts to their lowrider?

[UnqualifedCharacter]

I have seen a couple of people turning their lowriders into plasma tables. Does anyone have experience adding something like a diode laser or something similar while maintaining the lowrider’s router? Is there a best mounting method? GPIO pins easily controllable with the Jackpot and current firmware? Ideally, I would add a pen mount for simple marking directionality and possibly a laser and string wrapping tool. We will see how far I get… Grand plans but little time for execution…

Here’s one, for low-load applications like lasers and pens: LowRider v3 CNC - Tool-less KINEMATIC Accessory Holder for LowRider 3 CNC 4.0

And be sure to check out Jamie’s awesome remix of the same mount!

Speaking of which, Jamie has now remixed this in a way that requires no acorn nuts, no screws for troughs, only one magnet on one side, no need for drilling any magnets for additional countersinking, and no need for prying any magnets out for flipping them. Check out his remix here . His remix avoids acorn nuts and avoids troughs made from screws, all by having both “mounds” and “valleys” made from 3D printed plastic. Here’s a photo of Jamie’s remix:

Also, for details on switching GPIO pins on / off on the Jackpot, here’s a post I made on that topic:

Details for switching on/off the MOSFETs via either Web-UI buttons or in GCode:
