Design Considerations:

The design ethic of the Plus Laser was to do it as cheaply and efficiently as possible.

With only two axes, why have a 4 axis controller or four stepper motors?

In reality, only X and Y are needed. So, I looked at a bunch of designs to work out how best to accomplish that, and the idea of a + where the X axis is cantilevered out over the work surface, fixed to the Y-axis gantry - hence, Plus Laser
