Some fine work and design efforts Ryan, really like the pattern you built in.
The holder has pure utility as you explained for the initial idea. I'd still need a few of those bank style pen chains however to prevent loss, but that's just the way I roll 🤠 

Where did you get that z-axis mount for the laser module and how do you like it? I'm getting annoyed with the factory unit as it will rock slightly as I raise or lower, never quite sure it is going back to the same alignment after moving up/down. A threaded rod like that sure looks like a better method!
