    Default Need dim. scanpro40's

    Hi I am working on my project of building a scanner and I am trying to make it all in AutoCAD right now, the only thing I don’t have dimensions for is the Scanpro 40's scanner block and its beam entrance for the top and bottom galvo.
    So I need the XYZ of the hunk of aluminum and then I need the XYZ or even XY of the center point of both mirrors to see if I want to come in from the top or the bottom with my laser
    Thank you for your help
    Michael
    Oh ya if you want this cad drawing tell me I can send copies this is the scan pro 40's power supplies and cards along with a MGL-H-532/500~1200mW CNI laser

    really small box is FB3 : ) larger box is scanner power supplies big box is laser power supplies and their others should be able to figure out.

    One problem with using a CAD program, is the beam usually comes out of the laser at a slight angle. It's good if you are just experimenting with layouts, however, though it can get a bit more complicated if your lasers beams dont come out right.

    Lol should have guessed to ask you first, I was surprised though as the Manuel on your sight had all the dimensions of the other parts but just not the mounting block.
    Also I have read before that to drill holes with cad is bad because of what you said things that the beam doesn't come out straight, this is just to see how big of a projector I need to make. and how much aluminum to buy.

    True lol all I have right now is the FB3 : ) and man does that software have a learning curve : )
    still waiting on the laser and the scanpro 40's but as soon as they arrive I want to be able just to place it all in this box that I am going to have made and everything should fit : ) well it will fit as I am going to make it bigger than necessary for the just in case : )

    Wait... So only women with breast implants should be using CAD? I'm confused now...
