Over all I am happy with the machine rigidity (good enough), but the wiring need more thought. I added extra holes to the arms for routing wires or adding wiring posts (refer to the white tape). Really the laser cable is too heavy for this machine.

Need of order some longer M3 bolts for the base, and make up a cable for the laser.

After that I need to look at the controller hardware.

Okay Hardware Done

Here is the wired up machine:
