      I have ordered controller board, openbuild aluminium and wheels.. i've 3d-printed all files i need..
      So when stuff starts to arrive i will keep this updated.

      Is some will notice, i have a really old and not-so-well documented powersupply boards, so there will be some trial and error before i have the new controller board up and running, but the criteria is PWM controll of the tube, safety switches and possibility to use lightburn instead of coreldraw.

      So.. thanks for the read so far :)
