Re: Laser Head question
Marco (or anyone else with a K40)
Is this item the correct holder for a 20mm x 38.1 lens in a K40 head assembly as supplied by LightObject last year?

Re: Laser Head question
This head holds a 20mm mirror and a 18mm lens

Re: Laser Head question
The current model we're carrying only support 18mm
It used to support 18~20mm (wider lens holder) but the tooling shop somehow changed it to 18mm without letting us know in advance.

Re: Laser Head question
For what it's worth my K40 came with a 12mm lens
I'm going to try and use some spacers around it so it doesn't move within the new head. If not I suppose I'll be getting an 18mm lens soon

Mine was 12mm also....I made a spacer real quick on my 3D printer....I can post the stl file if you want it.....

Re: Laser Head question
Same idea but no 3d printer...
I took a nylon washer and cut it down on the lathe, then enlarged the hole. Does make it easier to clean the lens, lol.

Re: Laser Head question
Hehe, the head is apparently enough to throw several people off. I started by having my focus lens in the blue section of this pic, now I have it in the red. Can you guys confirm that's correct now?

Re: Laser Head question
Always closer to the air assisted plug, so you must put the lens on the 'blue' part

Re: Laser Head question
My apology, it is Red, not blue. I just checked it to confirm. It is a little difference than those big laser head
Hope I didn't cause you any trouble

No worries. Thought I would make up a little photo diagram for future reference.Tech_Marco wrote:My apology, it is Red, not blue. I just checked it to confirm. It is a little difference than those big laser head
