Help w/ mounting laser to LR4. Explain it like I'm 5 and up way past bedtime

I promise I’m a very technical person & can design the part if necessary. But I’m currently in the middle of hardcore crunch-mode, and surely someone more intelligent than me has already made a suitable mount.

After 30 mins searching, I found LONG threads that seemed to deal with overly complex designs, so perhaps either 1) I’m missing something, or 2) it’s more complicated than I expect.

Above: Shows the mount (bottom right).

So if there’s some pre-made “mount a flat plate on LR4 spindleholder,” I can take that and modify it for the hole pattern for this plate.

@Ryan1 maybe idea suggestion for LR5: Put mount points on those spindle rings. Perhaps omission was intentional to discourage extra weight, or maybe I’m overlooking the utility of that hole on the bottom ring. The LR4 was so freakishly cleverly designed that more than likely I’m missing something and need to sleep.

I designed a simple mount with a plate yesterday.

It’s fully parametric so you could easily change dimensions

I’ll share the f3d after getting kids to school

Stick to one topic, please. You made the same request here: Has anyone put a JTech 34W Pro laser on their LR4?

Yeah I wondered if I should have put it in the same topic, but I realized the other was a general request, but my question quickly became more specific.

I replied in the other thread

Think we can close this one now :wink:
