Re: Ben's 2.x Laser Build

My laser finally cut its own electronics tray:
I should have put a bigger space behind the DIN rail. I forgot about how big the relay module Bart suggested for the blower was. I actually had to move the 24V PSU to be able to snap it onto the rail. I also pre-wired that side since it's not really accessible anymore.
I'm sure the neat freaks among you will also note I didn't re-cut the wire to fit the new layout yet. I figure when you do something like that you guarantee something will come up to make you need to move stuff around.
Out of sight behind the huge relay is a small terminal block that provides a hookup for the extended laser ground lead with a 1R sense resistor inline and two terminals to hook up a meter if I ever get a permanent one.
