E3D ToolChanger Laser Tool

11 Sep 2019 Update: I for got to mention that this design is meant to use threaded inserts (4 M3x6 and 2 M4X6) as well the bottom hallf and the top half mate together using 4X8 cylindrical Magnets.

This is a tool head for the E3D tool changer that accepts a Jtech Photonics Diode Laser, I am using the 2.8W version. Design is not final. You will need to glue 2x 3mm of size 36X32mm and 23X32mm of orange transperant plexi in the grooves of the bottom half of the V3 mount (UV Laser Protection).

To use this on your tool changer you need to do the following.

1- Disable one of the heaters I chose to use heater 5,
2- create a new tool definition in the config.g file

[code]
M305 S"T4" P5
M307 H5 A-1 C-1 D-1 ; Disable Heater 5 output on H5

M563 P4 S"T4" ; Define tool 4 Laser
G10 P3 X0 Y0 Z0 ; Reset tool 3 axis offsets

[/code]

3- create a tpre4.g, tpost4.g and tfree4.g and add the following into them

tpre4.g
[code]
M452 P5 R255
