Welcome Rick- we advise recording your Vendor files as they are easy to lose and sometimes hard to find later. Not sure which bracket you are offering- perhaps a picture would help. Gene

That part must be unique to your machine... but I love it. What program do you use? I very much enjoy designing in Fusion 360 and have two Prusa printers to make my designs real.

I used fusion 360, it is the 80w omtech i have had it only a month. i did not want to cut the stock angle bracket like russ did, so I made it fit. the stock head was the 16.3 mm tube but wanted it to be like russ's with the 24mm tube for the longer focal length lens as thing like to flame up if nozzle is to far away from the work.
