hi @ringo2k , I hope could have your comments on this topic,. Actually I made 120 watt laser CNC with RAMPS and modified Marlin by TurnkeyTyranny which is equipped with BT wireless link , I used to repetier host for cutting and engraving. Code has minor defect and unfortunately not updated any longer , however I'm moving to next step and find many industrial laser CNC have module which is keep the cutting tool; in readiness state , for example THC module check the correct distance from material constantly , also I find many modified codes here has own approach and not follow the same standard way as 3d printer developers goes, hence I start sending the note to Marlin and repetier developer to find any enthusiast people to such project and make standard modified version for cutting CNC machine I really appreciated to have your comments

hi @mkeyno sorry for my late response.

Do you already start here? The change i made was just to get a output pin enable the laser. I googled for the "right" G-Code and added this to the Firmware.

Can you explain more what your goals are on this project?
