    I may well be interested. Currently using blu-tack!

    I would probably be in for a couple mounts as well. I can't audience scan of course but, from a safety standpoint just for myself and for other laserists at LEMS etc., I think they're a great idea. I know there have been a few times just playing around by myself that I've gotten walloped with 3 watts and flinch a little bit. And I've just used blue painters tape which really doesn't allow the correct placement of the lens very well.

    The left right adjustment will be useful for projectors where the scanners are not exactly central in the output window.
    Is it worth finding our what the width between hole centers is for the shutter fixing points on Kvant and some other cases like the Goldenstarlasers ones to see if there is any commonality that could be accommodated by horizontal slots for the primary mounting points?

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

    I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.

    I'll have a measure up when I get home
    I guess the more versatile they are, the more popular they'll be!

    Yeah but, some of us dumb Americans will have to find a ruler with millimeters on it!

    I can't find a single one floating around here at work that has both SAE and metric.

    I could measure mine and send the drawings of my custom mounts one I get home on Wednesday... Mine were glued on the mount, I guess there's certainly a more flexible way to go but that was the fastest way.

    it would be handy to get all info/measurements posted here so i only have to look in one place.

    the plan would be to make the mount easy enough to swap lens out etc...
