Laser engraver head for the Cetus

I've only just got the damned thing and only run 2 test parts off it but already I've spotted an enhancement.

Looks good to me, so obviously I've wasted no time wasting my money on one.

Looking forward to playing with this. Meanwhile I should also be looking into how to use g code with the Cetus. Doesn't look too difficult but still requires me to RTFM.

There.
