Thanks for watching! I have linked the CAD files for this project below as well as some of the links to the hardware I used. I am very happy with how this machine turned out and will definitely be using it in future projects. I think this laser cutter costs around $1000$1200 in parts which is less than half of what a commercial option would be. If you are looking to replicate this project I would urge you to do as much research as possible and use my files as a starting point. Laser cutters are extremely dangerous (but also awesome) so do it at your own risk.
