Building budget laser cutter based on H-bot mechanics suitable for 1.2m long laser tube.

Either 900x600mm: or 900x900mm:

1. Draw a bill of material, software, suppliers, people involved.

New workshop activities:

1. Design in TinkerCAD - (50% done)
2. 3D print parts
3. Source parts from BOM, find suitable piece of ply or HPL panel - 1300x1300mm (for 900x900mm cutting envelope) or 1300x1000mm (900x600mm cutting envelope) etc.
4. Assemble the mechanics and test it with a laser pointer.
5. Build the enclosure and safety switches

G2 workshop activities:

1. Install CO2 laser tube
2. Connect extraction and watercooling to the cutter
3. Profit

Some updates: It seems to me that we need to make a laser with 90x65x3cm working envelope. It turns out that it will be a minimum of 127x83x16cm dimensions (our current one is 125x75x25cm) Check out my super sneaky slant lasertube!
