I designed and a periscope to change the beam height from a Mai-Tai laser which comes out at 5.41″ (where did they get that # from to 4″) . The design was done in solid works and was based around 1″ mirrors from thorlabs. I dimensioned the part around the mirror model I downloaded from Thorlabs after I mated them in an assembly. Here are some pics of the printed part on the table. I’ll try to upload the solid works and stl files later when I’m back at my pc in a few days.
I had it printed at the 3D printing store. More to come.
So here is some drawings and CAD files for the periscope.
Here is a drawing of the side view. The idea was that by adjusting the plane 1 offset it would allow the distance between to be configurable. Unfortunately, height configuration though adjustment of Plane 1 position didn’t work in this version. I checked it after printing what I needed and saw, when the plane 1 position changes the position of the mirrors change but the position of the circular holders doesn’t move. I played with it a little but wasn’t able to fix it. I’ll spend more time on it when I need another periscope. In the meantime, if this model might be useful you can down load it in the .zip file below.
