I would like to install a more powerful and/or narrower laser in the FabScan. Has anyone had any experience with this?

According to Watterott a 1mW line laser is used, with max 25mA as working current. If I see it correctly, the driver has a 100 Ohm resistor, so max 33mA can be used?

Why do I want that? Because I have integrated the FabScanPi into a larger installation space.

Many greetings
