 # Design 
-Hexastorm design contains the Computer Animated Design (CAD) files to build an [open hardware fast high resolution laser.](https://reprap.org/wiki/Open_hardware_fast_high_resolution_LASER)  
-The CAD file is created out of six PCBs, these can be found in https://github.com/hstarmans/firestarter.  
-The design is made using Freecad 0.20 and plugins assembly 4 and Kicad Stepup.  
-The main file of interest is assembly_compact.FCStd, in FreeCAD Files.    
-Earlier design are available in the branch named old.
-The main board is placed in this box 100x67x22mm, AK-NW-84. This box can be found on Aliexpress.
+FreeCAD design for laser direct imager with a prism, for a technical description see [open hardware fast high resolution laser](https://reprap.org/wiki/Open_hardware_fast_high_resolution_LASER).  
+The CAD file uses PCBs found here, https://github.com/hstarmans/firestarter.  
+Design is made using FreeCAD 1.0.0RC2 with the plugins fasteners and KiCad Stepup.  
+The main file of interest is assembly_compact_new.FCStd, in FreeCAD Files.

 ## Status
-The design is going through a complete redesign.
-A summary presentation is available [here](https://youtu.be/b7ArZDhsyfI).
+Current design will be tested in december 2024 and is intended to be available commercially.
 
 ## Instruction Videos
+There are some videos on YouTube explaining the design in more details.
+These are dated.

-## Render 
-To create a render of the laser rays, additional code is needed.
-
+## Optical simulation 
+Creating the rays in FreeCAD is done using pyoptools and the following two libraries.  
+These libraries are hard to use and require extensive time and python knowledge.

-## Known bugs
- - FreeCAD complains about migration issues, these can be ignored.
- - If the baseplate is changed, screws and local coordinate frames need to be reassigned which is cumbersome
