This is the first thing we have successfully cut on the laser cutter after getting all the components together.
It cut though 3mm MDF in 10 passes with a 5.5w laser. So it was able to retrace its path 10 times with no noticeable deviation, and we returned it to the initial position every 2 passes to give the laser some time to cool off because it is cheap.
We bought the z-axis movement, the x axis is a camera rail Ben had, everything else we sourced and bought from hardware stores. #Engineering
