SKR v1.3 & Marlin 2.0

Instead of 'proper' laser cutting firmware such as LaserGRBL , I just decided to go for 3D printing hardware & software, predominantly due to their high accessibility and user base, as well as my familiarity with the Marlin firmware. I also chose to use a SKR v1.3 motherboard for the same reasons. 

If you have any 3D printing mainboard lying around though, I am confident that the process will be very similar to mine. This guide by Teaching Tech should help anyone else interested.
