YMTA: Laser Mounts for TurtleBot

Here are the latest results of our continued research on TurtleBot accessories. They are based on the philosophy that everything is better with lasers.



This is a prototype mounting adapter for the Hokuyo UTM30-LX. The required heat sink is in the process of being manufactured and should be available in a few weeks.






The first iteration of a mounting adapter for a Hokuyo URG-04LX-UG01, shown here with speaker mounts, will also be available in the next two weeks from the I Heart Engineering store.

Those parts look like they are produced with a 3D printer, right?
What type are you using?

These were from a Stratasys, but the production versions will be laser cut with countersinks added as a secondary operation.
