Description

I designed this mounting clamp for my 80mm spindle to be able easily take my laser on and off my CNC and allow for an independent mounting height relative to the spindle. It simply recreates the mounting points on a onefinity CNC z-axis so you can mount tools to as you would with the factory mounting plate without having to adjust the spindle height if they conflict (which mine did in order to maximize the carving area of the machine). It has the side effect of being much easier to take on and off as it's only one thumb turn to create a solid coupling. Now I just keep the J-tech laser mounted to it so it can slide on and off without having to move the spindle when switching between laser work and milling.  It's slim enough to not conflict with my AutoDustBoot.  I used M5S shallow threaded brass inserts for m5 bolts (note you do need to grind them down a little on the inside face of the boot to clear the spindle a Dremel with a burr bit makes quick work of it though some sandpaper on a dowel would work with a little effort)

additional items for build:

(4) M5 x10mm (note length  depending on what your mounting - my jtech mounting plate worked with 10mm)

(1) 1/4-20 x 1 ½" bolt (I used these because I had a bunch on hand - you could certainly switch to metric here and use an M6 for the bolt and threaded insert)

I printed this out of PETG with a .6 nozzle and turned on supports for the thumb screw overhang, though I would expect a .4 with PLA would be fine as well since there is not much stress or heat on the part.
