Hi all,
anyone know if I can fit the DT40 Wide motors to the same mount block that came with my DT40 Pros? Removing the old one while I fix the amps for the Pro motors would make me very sad.

They will fit but you wont be able to go full width as the wide scan block has a chunk milled out to match the conical end of the y scanner so if you go too wide you will just draw on the scanblock. But running narrow is better than not running

If you need to ask the question 'whats so good about a laser' - you won't understand the answer.

In fact, on actually trying it, they don't fit. :-(
Crazy cos after you posted yesterday I tried one here to be certain and it fitted????
How old are your DTs and are they for large beam mirrors or standard - not that there should be a difference.

The DT40Pros are pretty old- a couple of years, and out of warranty (glork). The DT40 Wides are brand new.
In the end I managed to remove the mount from the projector and replace it with the Wide block. And promptly stripped the thread on the X-galvo shaft clamp. (It seemed to be cross-threaded, as it was rather difficult to remove.)
I am now super pissed.
hi Super Pissed...
Congrats on the 'extrication'... want a couple free helicoils, or are you 'good'? I gotta go hit-up USPS tomorrow, anyhoo....
If-so, I assume we're talking metric, but, then-again, if you have to bore-out anyway, you might as well just re-tap to a nice 8 or 10-32 or something US'ey... ...OR not...
..either way, lemme know if I can pop an envelope in the mail to ya...
cheers..
