So It’s been almost 2 years since I got my laser cutter and started my journey to becoming a maker. In that time I’ve become much more proficient in creating graphic designs ( I started with almost no experience). Tonight I was revisiting an old project that I had started and didn’t follow through on because it looked like too much graphic design work. Now that I’ve looked at it again I’m like “God, I was such a newbie” and then got it done in an hour 
Moral of the story, always keep pushing, always keep making, learning and growing.
You’ve done well in 2 years Ned. Good to see you still pushing the limits & boundaries of what you’re capable of
Am I right that you are running a stock controller?
@donkjr Yes I’m currently still running the stock controller. I do have a C3D mini board to install with a bunch of other parts I’ve been collecting from your list of suggestions on your blog. I’ve got to order a new tube soon as mine is fading, so a major rebuild is in my near future. 
…and using a stock controller makes your MAKING even more impressive!
