Oddly enough the MFR laser is actually easier to get then a quarry, you'll need a vat and a sawmill to get plastic sheets but you should already have the latter and the form isn't particularly hard at all, MFR recipes are basically unchanged really.
The main issue is you need pink slime, while it can be easily mass produced after obtaining a pink slime via slime embiggening syringes getting the first pink slime is tricky as you need 1000mB of pink slime forma slaughterhouse, which spawns in something like 108mB amounts with what feels like a 1% chance per animal it kills.
If only you knew a way to easily and quickly spawn dozens of animals with only early-mid game tech right?
As a tip for metal, look into thaumcraft, bloodwood planks have 1 metallum each so can be converted into an iron nugget, and you can get a lot of bloodwood planks from a tree without the process of obtaining them, cutting, and converting to iron being too complex.
