+draft: false

+description: First 3d print of 2025
+---
+
+I've had a 3d printer for a fair few years now. It's a Prusa mk3 and it's starting to show it's age. I might consider a replacement in the next year or so - the Bambu Labs printers are looking pretty good.
+
+Anyway, before I replace it I need to prove to myself that I'll use it.
+
+This is a print that I've been wanting to do for a while. I bought a cheap Magnusson laser level a while back (it was around 40% of the cost of others I could find) and it's really good for drawing level lines, but what it lacks is a convenient way of placing it at just the right level.
+
+We suffered for quite a while with balancing the level on stacks of random objects - not the best.
+
+Later on I found a cheap camera tripod in a local charity shop. Now I just needed a way of connecting them together...
+
+3d printer to the rescue
+
+I fired up Fusion and designed a little plate to interface between the quick-release that the tripod has, and the 1/4-20 thread that the laser has.
+
+![Design](../../assets//images/laser-stand/design.png)
+
+A quick print later and it's ready to go!
+
+![Close Up](../../assets/images/laser-stand/close.jpg)
+
+The (laser)disc is to enable me to point the laser in different directions without moving the tripod. Without it the laser doesn't line up with the quick-release, and this was apparently unacceptable to myself.
+
+![Assembled](../../assets/images/laser-stand/assembled.jpg)
+
+Functional prints are the best!
