 ##Adjust the mirror alignment
 ###To adjust beam alignment, adjust the mirror orientation by turning the thumbscrews on the mounting plate. Turn only a small amount and re-fire the laser to get a sense of how sensitive the mirror adjustments are.
-####[[File:Laser-mirror-alignment.webm|none|thumb]]The thumbscrews on the rabbit mirrors are in a different location than this video but the principles of alignment still apply. The thumbscrews change the yaw and pitch of the mirror.
+####[[File:Laser-mirror-alignment.webm|none|thumb]]The thumbscrews on the rabbit mirrors are in a different location than this video but the principles of alignment still apply. The thumbscrews change the yaw and pitch of the mirror. For the current mirror mounts, it is easiest to adjust the yaw (or X) position of the beam first then correct the pitch (or Y) position.
 ###Check the beam alignment of each mirror at the nearest and farthest extent that the gantry will allow. This will ensure the beam is aligned along the entire travel pathway of the mirror.
 ###To reset Z height on laser head - Move Z axis bed to top. Put down piece of paper. Adjust laser head to just touch top focus on focus gauge
