VIDEO of Fist Laser test on my DIY CNC machine

[LuxIgnis]

I built a LOC laser and a TTL driver, and this is the result.

The relay is a bit slow turning on and off the laser, so I've got to make some changes.

This is the result though.

That looked like +3 minutes of a Laser spot moving under a CNC Head...
Did I miss something.. :thinking:
I didn't see the result of the Black material or the Tan colored material..
Did it write something or cut something out...:thinking:

Yes I was just writing my website address as a test job, it's the very first test.
The relay is taking too long to turn off the laser.
The video is just to get some help from cnc community it's not intended to show end result. At the beginning of the video there is a picture of a piece of wood with the writing that it did. I wanted to spare people the 10minutes it took... haha.
I have a 3.2w laser that I will attach, so this 250mw is just for tests.
