Air assist Nozzle for Chinese Lasers

I have a lens assembly that looks like the one below. I made an assist air nozzle for it. I got a lot of requests for them, so I had a bunch made.

If anybody wants one, I will sell them until they are gone. It fits a standard low end Chinese laser lens assembly. It is easily connected and disconnected via set screws without affecting focus or alignment. It rides about 0.200" above the focal plane and does a great job of keeping fumes off the lens and clearing them from the cut. I have it shown with 3 set screws (included) but only one or two are needed. There are three tapped holes so at least one is accessible in all orientations.

There is a link to a drawing below The cost is $25 each and that includes a barbed fitting with the I.D. of your choice. Just send me a private message.

FYI: The design is open source, so feel free to make your own.

Bart,

Those air nozzles look nice.

Does the $25 include shipping (for those in the states)?

Zax.

Hi Bart,

Nice work with the nozzles. How much is shipping to Australia, please?

Also, I was wondering if you've had any problems with the nozzle fouling on the side of the bed? On startup my laser homes itself to the top right in a position that would hit the nozzle. Do you think it would pop off, or jam the axis altogether?

Cheers,
Gavin.

International shipping would be $13.95 for as many as you want. If the nozzle hits something I think that would be bad.

The set screws could be changed to thumb screws and the nozzle could be mounted after homing.
