looking for measurements from all scanner kits!

[ndrew2505]

if anyone has a scanner kit besides the dt40 and scanlsp 20 kit can you tell me the measurements from the bottom of the galvo block to the center of the bottom mirror(where the beam enters)? im trying to get some heatsinks made that will be kind of universal and i need the measurements before i can proceed. thanks!

scanpro series
scanlsp
dt25
etc...

What if your laser bounces off of the top mirror first?

what most people do is add tiny aluminium plates under laser modules to build the height up to what ever they need.

thats fine. im just looking for an average height to use to make it a little easier to align everything with less optics/parts.

I'll try to measure mine when I get home.. I'm fairly sure it's a universal thing, with only minor differences between makes.

i know but i want to double check just to make sure any help is appreciated.

on a seperate note pat... the "roll" that was in the package i sent was for you to keep. it was 2 of the GITD sheets and not packing material..

I will try to locate something to measure with and then I can give you some measurements for the DT25
Do you want it in Imperial or US customary measurements?

metric is preferred but standard is ok as well. i can convert it if i need to.

oops... serves me right for not checking well enough.. Thanks anyway!!

off-topic, but have you had a chance to use that DAC?

DT25 measurements:
Bottom of block to middle of bottom (X) mirror: 3cm
Bottom of block to middle of top (Y) mirror: 3.5cm

Those are as exact results as I could get using the ruler on my Leatherman
It may be 2.95cm for X and 3.45cm for Y, but I believe the above are correct (and easier to work with too).

Please say if you need me to measure something else!

EDIT: Please note that this is using the small (3mm beam) mirrors. I do not think the 5mm beam have a different placement in the block but you can never say never

not yet. i havent even bothered playing with it yet until i get my aluminum plate drilled. gotta call mrwilling tonight about that.
