[Lab] cheap laser cutters

[Wesley Ellis]

I noticed this out of focus issue too when doing some rastering a few weeks
ago, so it's not just you Andrew.

Maybe next Wednesday we can spend some time calibrating/tweaking the laser?
I understand that it needs to be hooked up to the air filter now that the
laser can't vent outside because of construction.
