With a loupe , you can see exactly what the laser is doing , for eg you can see of the bi directional firing is out of alignment , you can see the dot or path structure , whether there is a lot of melt , whether the beam is "burning" or vaporising and generally inspect the quality of engraving
Helps you diagnose machine/bream/processing issues
I like the alcan foil tray idea and the dental pick as well as the dish rack thing and the extra LED lights... will implement em
