Here is a idea I have to try to make the laser more rigid.
In this design I split the tube so I can have the vacuum in the center and gas inlets on the end. This will help cool the gas as it effectively cuts the distance the gas travels in the tube in half. I also had a couple ideas to convert this to a fast flow laser in the future so I increased the diameter of the gas and vacuum hoses to allow increased flow If I ever want to. The new design is totally removable and the mirror mounts are sturdily mounted to a piece of steel. I don’t know if I will stick with an I beam but you get the idea.
