    Now that you can remove the screws, you might want to replace all of them with socket head cap screws and forget the glue. Those Phillips head screws are not suited to precision alignment mounts because they require sometimes considerable force to keep the driver in the slots as you are fine adjusting the flex mount's position. Is this the kind of hardware detail that is typical of lasever?

    Nope i was experimenting with what to screw to make it go the direction i want.
    I know what it is like to enter a hobby/profession at the mid level ie to miss the ground up education, yet be unwilling to just go out and buy the result and treat it as a black box (in this hobby that is literal). So, once you get this projector sorted out, you might want to undertake to build a small, low power satellite to gain a little confidence and better prepare you to trouble shoot the more complex systems. And of course, you'll end up with another projector.

    If i ever get my hands on a red module wich i can afford, and successfully complete the projector, then im first going to celebrate and make shows for half a year lol. Then see what next to do.

    I used epoxy now to make the mirrors/screws in place. Its a epoxy that breaks on pressure so i can always remove it should i have to.
    You are unique! Just like everyone else...

    If you have not glued them in yet then you might want to wait or avoid the glue altogether. Once the whole projector is assembled you might find that the modules are once again slightly "off" and a little adjustment will be needed.

    I agree, the adjustment screws should be under tension anyway, so they probably aren't at much risk of walking. I can't think that I've felt the need to glue any of my mini/micro mounts (apart from whatever is mounted on them, obviously)

    You are using Bonetti's defense against me, ah?

    I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.
