Someone knows of a purchasable (ready-to-use) #FOSS laser engraver? Let alone one that could be compared in features with the xTool M2?
A relative asked me and I can't think of any. ._.

My bit of kindness - the AusPost contractor who enables my AliExpress habit (which I can stop whenever I want), is always on time, always friendly, polite and professional (apart from the anecdotes about previous clients who yelled at him for being too early, or too late, or delivering to the printed address instead of magically divining their work address 🤯)
So, using cardstock (which he delivered), and coated metal blanks (which he delivered), I used my laser engraver (which he delivered) to make this:
#k40 laser cutter maintenance:
1. Cleaned the air outlet from all the gunk
2. Swapped the moldy silicone rubber tubing and cleaned the pump/reservoir from whatever life forms lived in there
3. Cleaned the mirrors... not sure if I will use them again or go for the new ones, they are not exactly great.
4. Fixed the power switch that was welded permanently closed (big switch mode power supply on switched outlet = too high inrush for the poor switch
Next steps:
1. fit AA battery instead of coin cells in thermometer
2. Fit new air assist nozzle
3. fit new exhaust ducting and additional exhaust fan
4. Move webcam to inside of lid so #meerk40t can overlay the webcam image on the bed = better placement/material use
5. misc small things
6. Test run!
