A while back I had the pleasure of speaking with a gentleman named Craig from the ECE Machine shop here at my university. I had the opportunity to talk to him because I was picking up some parts that he had machined for me out of solid aluminum!

I consider them stunning.

Key features include all-aluminum construction for optimal heat-dissipation as well as strategically placed mounting holes for circuitry or additional heatsinks. The should also provide flexible mounting surfaces for the galvos. It will be necessary to use thermal epoxy to glue the coils to the surface for maximum thermal conduction.

I really anticipate these will provide high-performance platforms for the rest of the components.

I am providing CAD drawings of the Base and Side parts in PDF format if you’d like to make them yourself as well. If you’ve like them in an editable format, just let me know.
