Making a DIY laser guide for a manual screen printing press.

In this video I'll show you how I made my own laser guide system for my manual screen printing press. I patterned it off of commercially available units. It involves some welding and fabrication, as well as 3d printing, soldering and some electronic work.

Wow

Excellent...You should make your own Printer.

I'm working out a concept to expose screens using a screen as a mask and a UV light, the same way a resin 3d printer works. That way I won't need to printer for transparencies at all. Not sure if it's going to work though.
