The rails, gantry, and timing belt have been installed on the laser machine. Thanks to a volunteer (Shawn) we are currently developing a more advanced optics system that allows increased precision and deeper cuts. We are testing CNC functionality using mock Gcode. The small laser cutter also joined our booth at the NYC Makerfaire.
