Looks great! I will be interested to how well the ABS holds up to weather. Where do you live? We see -30F - 110F here, with plenty of sun and medium to high humidity.

You got me to thinking...How much is the bed raised/lowered per 'click' of the Z-adjustment knob?

I played with the laser engraver for a while. The big adjustments you make on it are speed and power. I used all 50W of the laser, and these are results of speed changes.
