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 are not off the shelf lens

Both should be "dome up, away from the honeycomb" when installed.

Lower Lens	Upper Lens	Side Profile

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.
