Can you supply a link of a laser cutter that would be a good candidate for home use or projects like you mentioned?

I did this to build mine - well, I actually cnc'd it but same principle. I also redesigned the carriage, X axis arms and Z arms to be CNCable, which you can probably laser cut, apart from the linear bearing slots which you might have to re-think. I can send you the files if you like.
I also made it taller, which is a bonus!
