The team unveils the brand-new Laser Finder tool on MakeArmy.io — a guided quiz that helps beginners figure out which type of laser suits their work without sales fluff or brand bias. They walk through how it works, how it connects to the growing community settings database, and what’s next for expanding it. The conversation drifts into real shop talk: adding UV and diode options, fixing bugs, and the chaos of community feedback. From there, they preview the new “Ultimate Guide to Laser Processing” series, talk about upcoming projects (golf balls, hat patches, and unboxing the Ortur R1), and riff on new machines and the eternal challenge of making shorter, more watchable videos.
