Centering plate for Thorlabs kinematic mirror mount (Reloaded)

This is an improvement of a previous Centering plate for Thorlabs kinematic mirror mount (thing http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:259018).

When you use a Thorlabs KM100 kinematic mount to hold a mirror, the reflecting surface is displaced from the center of the mounting post. As a result is not easy to align the input and output beams using the grid of the optical table. This simple piece allows shifting the mirror surface to the post center facilitating the alignment.

Description

In this version, M4 nuts are added so that the component can be tightly fixed to the kinematic mount and to its post holder. The file nuts_and_bolts.SCAD is required to generate the nuts.

Materials

• 2 M4 standard nuts
• 1 printed component
