This comes from a laser dot matrix printer<http://www.logismarket.co.uk/domino/laser-dot-matrix-printer/867767609-860518170-p.html>. I have no idea about the quality. This is a huge improvement over the DVD laserdiodes I was experimenting with. I don't know if the laser is powerfull enough though. So, if I discover that it almost works but just doesn't cut it, I might consider upgrading to a serious laser. But I need a focussing lens first and an extra powersupply. I am using my steppermotor powersupply at the moment.But when my mill is repaired again I need the PSU for the mill. For starters I want to attach the laser to the mill, so I need another PSU.
