'''Update: 2026-05-05'''
The offending device is a ''water pressure level switch'', we will either salvage one from a dishwasher or washing machine, or order a new one online. If you have access to either a dishwasher or washing machine, or one of these switches please let us know!
 
'''Update: 2026-04-30'''
Water was seen leaking from the front left of the machine while switched on. Upon investigation it was found to be dripping from the bottom of a device mounted inside near the back left corner. A water inlet enters the body of the laser cutter and is split, one hose goes to the offending device. This device appears to maybe be a water sensor of some sort.
