Update: I have added a second version of the back and front parts with added Stop/micro-switch holders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KitOc0eEnhw Z_Axis has been added at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2936213. Vid here is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxxW1faeN2M. I have worked hard on this and hope it will be used by others. All parts were printed on an Anycubic i3 Printer, Bed size 210 by 210. End parts need some fiddling to get them in the slicer but do fit diagonally. Square holes are for Microswitches; I used the following: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331890551081. UPDATE: The laser from https://www.banggood.com/450nm-3500mW-3_5W-Blue-Laser-Module-With-TTL-Modulation-for-DIY-Laser-Cutter-Engraver-p-1103261.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN can be gotten for cheaper if you search. I paid £54 for mine from the same place. Nima 17 stepper 17HS3404 is being used. Four rods, eight millimeters thick, two at 260mm and two at 388mm are in use. Control comes from https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162781398011. Software can be downloaded or requested by the user. It is a cheap and cheerful machine but effective. A piece of Ply or Aluminium will be used for the bed. Enjoy
