Welcome back to Travis Mitchell's DIY Fiber Laser Cutter V2 build! In Episode 2, Travis lays out the core philosophy and ambitious goals driving the V2 design, aiming for a machine that's more powerful, user-friendly, and accessible for fellow DIY enthusiasts.

In this podcast, you'll learn about:

• Core Design Objectives: A comprehensive upgrade plan focusing on speed, maximizing the usable cutting area, enhanced safety (spark/fume control), and simplified operation (part removal).
• 
  
• Budget & Replicability: Targeting an approximate $10,000 budget while prioritizing readily available components to make the build easier for others to follow.
• 
  
• Key Component Insights: Understand the reasoning behind selecting the Max Photonics laser source and Raytools control system.
• 
  
• Lessons Learned from V1: Get an in-depth look at specific V2 design changes – like the lowered bed and internal rail mounting – and how they directly address space utilization and spark control issues encountered in the first version.
