Thunder Laser USA Beam Buddy HR Head Information & Instructions
Description
Our Thunder Laser USA Beam Buddy High Resolution Head is manufactured in Canada to our specifications and this head performs a bit better than the stock Thunder HR Head. More on that here:
Exploded Assembly Order
Note that the upper and lower lens are not the same and we dont know the focal values.
both should be "dome up, away from the honeycomb" when installed.
Focal Length
The nominal focal distance between the surface of the substrate and the bottom face of the head is 3mm.
The file to cut one from 3mm material is attached to this article (below) if you want to make your own.
Many just use a US Quarter as a focus gauge and have fabulous results.
