    Thanks. They are just metal pegboards with led strips inside.

    Chico!! Hey buddy, looking forward to seeing this new build! Quick question, How has the tinted lexan treated you on the other build regarding the laser reflections?

    I haven’t had any issues with the tints. They are dark enough to tone the brightness down by a lot. I mostly use it to engrave glass and I can stare at it all day long and at no point my eyes feel strained or it feels like it’s too bright. It just looks like a brighter spot. I’ll see if I remember and I’ll take a video tomorrow to show you how bright it looks.

    Hey CChico.

    Have you had a chance to get that video of the 80w with tint? Also, I was curious about something. My plan may have fallen through about how I want to drive my independent bed motors (4 of them) so I may drive my bed synchronously. What external driver do you plan to use and which motor? I have no external driver set but I picked up some 59Ncm motors. Hoping thatll be powerful enough to drive synchronous bed.
