    Hey everyone. New guy here.

    So, I’m finishing my 1010 build and have a question about laser compatibility. I’ve been using 10W diode Comgrow cutter, but just sold it because i plan on doing it with 1010.

    I had a second 10W diode head and kept it. Another option is to purchase their 20W diode head they just came out with last week. Can they be used with the 1010? The 20W looks solid and the price is around $400 compared to the recommended ones it’s a pretty good deal. I never had any issues with their stuff. And i have 3D printers for days if some kind of mount or housing needs to be designed.

    Am I aright to assume that pretty much any laser head will work as long as it’s possible to mount?

    Thank you!
