This is pretty awesome!
I'm trying to build a similar setup using Arduino and EasyDrivers for controlling stepper motors.
I am planning to use two lower powered DVD burner lasers and combine them in a PBS cube for double the power. My budget is very low for this so here is my list so far ...
Is there any update on this? I want to build my first laser project - using the steppers and platform of DVD rom to make a CNC wood engraver/cutter for thin foam and black plastics.
What lasers are proven to work for this? Any lasers that I can extract from DVD rw/blu ray drives?
