Hi everyone! I found this site after saying to myself "this can't be difficult to build" while staring at my K40. I'll be slowly working on building something else. I like a lot of Russ' ideas on how this works and what should be done and probably will try to make it work with the future fab. build with a 1200 x 900 bed instead. All the engineering design is lightyears above me so hopefully through enough silly questions and cobbled together ideas from everybody else I can make myself a great laser.
