does anyone use these scanners?
and do you shine your laser beam into the top, or the bottom, scanner mirrors?
and any info how to align them would be really appreciated. thanks and God bless.

I know they're not actually scanpro20s, but in this pic you can see the proper angles for mounting galvos:

The laser enters on the lower mirror in most cases.

thats the way i have mine hooked up now with the beam shining on the bottom mirror first. but i was reading on the internet and it said let the beam hit the top mirror first. i wonder what is the difference. thanks and God bless.

There is no difference, it's just that for some people, their lasers might be too high up on the baseplate to hit the bottom mirror, so they use the top. That or they want the output on a different side.
