question about cooling the scanners

[thesk8nmidget]

alright then i will look for another type of simple heat sink without the fan.
and plan on making a little plexiglass half casefor the laser and scanners...


and thanks that link is quite helpful!

I put a cover on to protect the mirrors as well. But, you should leave the cover off to align the lasers. Poor alignment will result in light being projected past the second mirror straight up.

i will most likely not have the beam in contact with the Plexiglas cover it will be opened where the beam goes in and where the beam goes out
