We are excited to offer two of our LaserBeam accessories for purchase in our shop.
First, we have the Steel LaserBeam Mount. Originally designed specifically for the LaserBeam and included with each LaserBeam System, this mount has proven to be a versatile accessory that many customers use in their projects, setups, and designs. It’s built to be durable and reliable, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Next is the Replacement Focus Finder Set. Every LaserBeam order comes with a full set, but we know how easy it can be to misplace these small parts. We’ve created this replacement set to help you keep everything in place.
In addition to making these accessories available for purchase, we’ve also added a Resources Page to our website, where you can download the design files for each accessory. Feel free to experiment and create your own versions at home!
The LaserBeam Magnetic Mount is now available for purchase! Streamline your setup by eliminating the tedious bolting process. Once installed, simply snap your laser on and off for quick and easy adjustments. Crafted with durable, high-strength magnets, this mount ensures exceptional stability and rigidity, delivering precise and clean results within recommended speed ranges. Upgrade your experience today!
Feel free to explore all of our other resources for updated information on LaserBeam compatibility with the ever-expanding line of Sienci Labs products.
