Turns out a misaligned mirror made the laser hit the lens in a weird way, and then bouncing off something on the way out to produce this double line. Probably. What kind of strange troubleshooting have you done and what was the reason/fix?

Yeah that is pretty weird. The rear mirror is fixed to the body of the machine, it's usually the front mirror that rides on the gantry that gets misaligned "naturally"

Maybe someone smacked it on accident...somehow lol
