 Firstly, this thing is '''''great''''' and we love it, flaws and all! Here are some quirks that should be solved or worked around.

-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!

-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.
