About: I try to source the majority of my parts from the dollar store, most stuff you need can be reverse engineered, adapted or re-purposed from existing products.
This simple laser mount is a really great way to hold a common laser pointer in place and also serves as a hands-free switch with push button devices.
Perfect for this tripwire project or any other where you require a mount for a laser or small flash light. I hope my accidental discovery helps you with your projects.
