Been doing some improvements to my laser-crosshair mod on my monport #laser today.

A while back, when I did the debugging on the issues with the laser head, I took it off in order to debug the problem I was having.

I wanted to re-do it anyway, because the wires I put in to power the laser crosshairs were a bit too stiff, sometimes causing a bit too much resistance on the drag chain.

Live and learn! :)

Been looking for ideas on other mods and/or art hacks, but ughhhh....

If quasi-scammy youtube videos are anything to go by, it seems the key to "how to succeed with your laser business" is to start a youtube/patreon/whatever coaching business that teaches people how to succeed in their laser business.

Has the #lasercutting industry gone full-on pyramid-sceme now?

Where's all the #makers #hacking their #lasers at?

I did see some movement in the rayforge repo/issues wrt ruida support with a few people contributing, so it's not all bad.

My ruidactl implementation currently can move the laser, and fire the spot beam etc... but I still have a ways to go before I can have it do proper jobs let alone translate gcode to it. At this rate, #rayforge might beat me to it. :)
