Topic: Buildlog 2.x Laser build

Hi everyone,

I'm currently building a laser cutter for the garage so I don't have
to go out to the shop to do light material aside from metal since this can't cut metal
only engrave but hey, it's another tool I would like to have under my belt.


Here's what I have so far
