5517B Laser Tripod Mount


The 5517B is a dual frequency zeeman laser produced by HP/Agilent/Keysight for  interferometry applications. When you buy  it as a kit it often comes with a tripod, but most of the systems that turn up on eBay don’t have this tripod. When I’ve seen the tripods for sale, they’re about 1000USD.

So I 3D printed a really simple jig, you can find the STL files here: lasermount

It’s designed to fit a specific “bowl mount” tripod. This is the one I picked up on eBay: tripod.
