Co2 Laser Alignment
Key points:
- mirrors 1 and 2 do not need to be centered

- going into the laser head you want to be perfectly centered left to right

-90 degree corners at every mirror and beam parallel to the rails is the goal

- DO NOT skip third mirror alignment, this is the most important step.
