I'm particularly pleased with the self focussing head I designed. It's still slightly unreliable, but it's easy to make major upgrades just by cutting new pieces and bolting them on.

You just need to add a small segment of G-Code to the beginning of the job file and it finds the surface, then backs off to the rght focus distance, ensuring a perfect cut every time. In theory.
