Falcon 2 22W Red Framing Laser Alignment Fixture

This will hold a red laser to help frame and align items that you want to engrave. 

I used this laser and power cable.

I also used the USBA to USBC adapter that came with the engraver.  Install the power into the USBC connector on the laser module and use a Velcro strap to hold the cables out of the way of anything moving.

Clamp for the laser has holes for an m3-16 or -18 bolt and an m3 nut.

I used the 11mm hole size for my laser and used a bit of masking tape to shim it up so it would securely clamp on to it.

My offset setting were  X -40.6mm and Y -10.51mm but you will probably want to set yours your self and maybe start with mine.

To make your own offset in Lightburn do the following:

1. Place your laser over your test material and draw a 20mm square and run that line at something like 4000mm/s and 25% power (doesn't matter just make a mark).  Make sure it is framed so that you have room about 40mm to the right of the square to fire the laser again.
2. After drawing the square place the red laser center over the starting point of your square, for me it was the left bottom corner. Open the Move tab and set your power to 10% then click Fire for a few seconds and click it again to turn it off.
3. Click Edit then Device Settings, Enable “Laser offset” and input your offset measurements here.  Measure how far to the right of the starting point your dot is to the starting point of the square (X), then measure how far up your dot is to the starting point of the square and input your measurements (Y).  (If you have “Laser on when framing” you can turn that one off, you won't need it anymore) Then click OK.

You should be able to hit frame and have it your laser frame your next etching or cut and then move the laser to that starting point the red laser was at when it actually starts running.

Submit your make for me and let me know how its working for you!

Added a version with the offset of  X -40.6mm and Y 0mm so that the Y is in line with the laser cutting line.
