As J Tech Photonics doesn't offer a mounting kit specific to the CNC Shark, that aspect of the retrofit required some prototyping until I settled on my current design. The images show a basic overview - separate details for installing the kit can be found at jtechphotonics.com. My CNC now has laser engraving, cutting and photo rastering capabilities!
In my next post I'll upload some images of a few fun projects that I've completed!

Note: The current laser module offerings from Next Wave Automation utilize PWM for laser control (if you can get them to work) and the supplied post processors are written with ONLY this in mind. To use the much less expensive third-party lasers available on eBay including the J-Tech Photonics featured in this write-up a post processor utilizing TTL laser control must be used. In addition to the lower cost, support for 4th axis lasing is supported with the right post processor. I've written and tested post processors for some time now and make these available for a small fee. Simply PM me if interested.
