      Recent I was aligning the system, and to do so you need to fire the laser off of the table as far as you can to see if the beam gets bigger (which is bad) and some other things.

      The issue is that it is a rather strong laser…..I set a tiny bit of the wall on fire….and caught a wire with a stray bit (bad placement of wires) which melted the cable and a couple of bits of cardbord also smouldered.

      These obviously shouldn’t happen but do occasionally. Sooo yes, basically, yes I have had a couple of minor accidents
