flex mounting

[planters]

I am looking for a source for 4-5 flex style mounts with the foot extending back-away from the optical mounting surface for a very tight knife edging application. Any ideas?

Check with Dave at one time I recall him having the reverse foot flex mount.

cut the front off?

I don't think so because I usually order from him and he did not offer this option. But... it can't hurt to check again.

If you are super-stuck and there are no off-the-shelf solutions, I could mill up a small batch to any spec you need. I currently have a backlog of about 10 days to get through first; but if you aren't in an immediate rush, drop me a message.

All the best,

cut the front off?

Sure, I could and then mount from underneath, but I was hoping to really cram the prism close to the 2mm "Dave" lens ( even milling down the diode mount and the lens barrel to TIGHTLY knife edge some G71's and a rear foot would be the easiest. I can't mill these very narrow saw cuts needed for a compact mount like the typical flex mount.

That's very kind of you. Do you have the general specs for a typical flex mount or would you have to program in all the values? Big hassle or not a big deal? Not a super rush, just trying to complete a satellite projector for July 4.

I have some regular flex mounts drawn up; it shouldn't be too hard to extend the foot and re-post it for the new G-code.
See how it goes, if nothing turns up "in stock", then give me the nod and I'll rattle some out.

Pat Laserman532 has/had some micro 3 axis mounts with reversed foot. Maybe not quite 'tight' enough for a knife edge setup, I use them for steering

I love pat's mounts shoot him a PM, he probably has a stash around still.

We have the micro mounts with foot backward.

and front foot is also available.

and other mechanics and optics, like the 3piece lens in M9x0,5 etc for couple diodes. 2 diodes, 4 diodes, 8 diodes...
