Hackaday takes on Taming The Beast : Pro-Tips on building a DIY laser cutter

[Martin Bogomolni]

"Homebrew laser cutters are nifty devices, but scorching your pals,
burning the house down, or smelling up the neighborhood isn’t anyone’s
idea of a great time. Lets face it. A 60-watt laser that can cut
plastics offers far more trouble than even the crankiest 3D-printers"
... "Despite the danger, the temptation to build one is irresistible."

Timely. I spent 4 hours last night failing utterly to aim the laser
on one of these.

Any advice or tips are very much appreciated.

Also, can someone who knows how to clean the front surface mirrors
correctly shoot me a quick blurb on how I should do it? This isn't
for ATXHs, it's for it's distant cousin, The Marietta Makerspace.
