The Longer Ray5 5 and 10 watt laser have two stupid screws that help guide the laser up and down. these are a pain to remove every time you want to remove the laser for cleaning.
I present to you the Flixmyswitch Smooth Slider. You remove these two small M3 screws and plastic bushing and install this part. Its all in the video. Let me know what you think.
HOW MUCH FASTER CAN YOU NOW SERVICE YOUR LASER? Let me know in the comments.
Sorry about the hard ending of this video, my poor editing
