RE: Laser Cutter
Still need to perfect the nozzle for air assist because of the long focal length, but it lives!

Wrote a script for another project that generates gcode for a pegboard of given dimensions, it's just executing that for a nice repeatable test that mixes curves and lines.

RE: Laser Cutter
Did some testing with the newest forced air setup today. Worked great. 0.5mm kerf @ 150mm/min. Pretty sure I can bump that to 180-200. At 250 it wasn't making it through 100%. Not bad for the same power consumption as a lightbulb.
