The part to be 3d printed is "mounting bracket merged.stl".
Most optical shutters cost in the $900+ range new. These "low price" shutters are typically Teflon coated which cannot withstand high laser powers. We have seen failures of such a shutter with ~800 mW of optical power @ 950 nm. Shutters that are not Teflon coated are even more expensive.
This is a solenoid + plate solution that works for applications that do not require the shutter to close around the beam and don't need faster
