Laser Pointer Mount and Case to use a cheap laser printer to calibrate your 3D printer
Mount is designed to use a standard Hypercube (HEVO) as originally designed by Scott3d. With the case the idea is to glue a magnet onto the case so you can then stick it onto a motor or other magnetic part of your printer
Cheap pointer I have is 13.2mm in diameter by the removable end dome and 13mm elsewhere
The idea is that you insert the pointer into the mount/case with the power button located by the botch at the top. When you insert it, the button is pressed and stays on until you remove the pointer. There is a small X shaped slot in the end of the mount/case that, kind-of, throws a line rather than a point of light.
Put a ruler, preferably non-reflective, on the bed of your printer so that the laser shines on the beginning of the mm scale. Then move your printer, X or Y, by a fixed amount - say 120mm. Check where the laser now points. If it is not 120mm away from the start point you
