    Use the focal length piece

    By default, the light shield is installed at scale 0. You can use the focal length setting bar to set the position of the laser module.

    6 mm 3
    8 mm 4
    10 mm 5

      Is the depth scale for the focal length the same as the 20W module on the D1 Pro? The quick start guide has a different scale for the back plate.
