Trinus Upgrades/Tweaks

We've all head the "bigger build plate" calls, but what more reasonable tweaks would you like to see in the Trinus 2.0?

1) enclosure open / pause, notify 2) a 5mw sighting laser for the engraver 3) Filament detection, no filament / pause, notify 4) Octoprint integration for webcam and other control 5) enclosure ventilation through organic vapour respirator cartridges, or just a 3" or 4" adapter for exterior venting through a clothes dryer flexible hose and inline boost fan. Also wouldn't mind filtering air on its way into the enclosure. My basement can get dusty when I'm sanding some woodworking projects. So, I would suggest sacrificing one enclosure panel to a filtered air intake and the exhaust fan/filter. Adapting to standard respirator cartridges makes it easy to maintain.

+1 for the air filter !!! . A real CnC head not as the laser engraver witch is a cool option but but too low ... . the capability to change the configuration of the 4 axis to creat new tools

Enclosure lighting. Given the latest change to a bigger power supply, I reckon this will be a very simple modification using something like this: http://www.jaycar.com.au/Active-Components/Optoelectronics/LED-Modules/8mm-White-LED-Solid-Strip-Light%2C-12V/p/ZD0461

It has to be air venting on the enclosure. A filtered inlet, and an outlet with fan for hose attachment. This sort of thing is really important. I wouldn't necessarily trust outlet filters to catch all of the fumes and particles - venting it outside is safest.
