Sorry, 4got but I am reading by 'newest' posts and forget sometimes which language
Anyhow, my questions were raised in English already in the meantime:
What?
How?
Would love to build a laser 'spindle' as well

I mean I only have WinNC-PC and estlcam.
Could need some help to understand the commands that make relay1 on/off ?
I'm using the J Tech Photonics 2.8W laser. This requires an external TTL signal on/off for start stop of laser.
Pobably your connection relay1(wire 13) + gnd (wire2 ).. will do the trick but using what commands in the G-codes.
for a different fast holder i made a 3d-printed holder for the J tech laser.
Please see my project here :
J tech stepcraft project link of 3d model
Thanks.
