Congratulations on your successful collaboration with Cloudray! This is an addon that every laser machine should be equipped with in the future! Thank you very much for all the lessons you have tough us all and now for this great machine part! You are a true INFLUENCER although perhaps this is more of an insult than a compliment to a man like you. (I meant it as a compliment though :-)

Thank you for this!
Already ordered one now, and seems to have already shipped :)

Excellent idea! This will really help the home builder.

Hi Russ, Thanks for the time and effort in your videos. Very informative and always interesting to understand the 'why' behind the things you have tested.
I am looking to get a China 60w Machine but one thing I have been struggling to find an answer to is the difference between a C-series and an E-series. Appreciate your input.

I think I have watched almost all of your videos as they are very informative. I was looking at buying this part but the store is sold out. Just wondering if the plans are available for us make on a CNC? Thanks

I’m finally getting around to this upgrade but only just realised that the head and bracket are made for hgr15 rails with 26mm spacing, my machine only had mgn12 and I was planning on using mgn15 which which I had already ordered. I believe that it will still fit given the fact hgr15 is m4 screws but mgn15 is m3 with a 25mm spacing. Do you think this will be an issue or should I just order the hgr15 linear rails?

Hello, is it possible please to buy the alignment tool for the C Series head and if possible a copy of the file that makes the targets please. This is a very useful video. Thank you very much for the information.
My friend and I both have new build 100 Watt C02 Lasers based on the Further Fabrication plans and both have the C series Mirrors and Head, my friend though has serious problems in alignment and we have bought the adjustable mount for his laser, at the moment mine seems ok, there are some design difference and I think that is why he has had these issues. Were hoping this new mount will finally sort these out. Many thanks, Neil.

I ordered this part at the same time as a C series head. Unfortunately the belt clamp screw holes on both sides are spaced completely different than those on the original mount so there is no way to attach the belt to the adjustable mount. Cloudray's response was "no one else has complained" and that was basically Buyer be ware... Great idea, but the part they are selling is NOT compatible with a C series head.

Time and again you have proved, why you are to be believed and why everything others than your words is BS for me. Adding this to my shopping list on AliExpress. Where can I get the plans/file to print the 3D small white handle. My mate just got one and looking for a job in this time of self isolation 😁

Hello Russ,
first of all, I want to thank you for all the years of information! You are a great inspiration to me. Now I have a little question: is it possible to mount an e series head (25 mm tube tube) in the adjustable head holder? (Maybee with some small modifications?

thanks in advance!

@SabarMultimedia Great stuff, I just ordered it, is that alignment tool available anywhere to download ? (the one for the center alignment) Thanks and keep up the great videos!

Hi have the blue and white 50W Chinese laser, but my belt goes around the front an back of the gantry, not over the top and bottom in the video.
Would this bracket still work ?

[rodewe]

I see the bracket is marketed for the C series head. How can I determine which head my red/black machine has, i.e. will it fit?

[brianlove]

Want a light weight head how to order it thanks

[lowien]

Could it fit also to the blue-white China laser I have?
