Hello,
I was searching the forum and I am wondering if I am the only one having issues with object falling into the laser bed gaps?
That’s really annoying, I am ending up with damaged pieces either from laser marking, residues or laser head bumping to them.
Really not a good choice of design in my opinion.
Yes, I could buy an honeycomb…. But how to I fix it? And that’s a $3k machine!
Come on!
Thanks
Just laser bigger objects? Its not the fault of a laser machine that there has to be air gaps behind the object. Also with honey comb objects will fall down.
I had never a problem with falling objects. Just use a brush to get the small parts from between the rips.
Or use tabs so the objects will not cut all of the shape but keep 2-3 1mm long connections to the material board like described here:
The SM 2.0 bed has ribs that are closer.
Correct… never got issue with the A250.
Same issue and it is super frustrating especially with the 20/40w laser which are only 5mm over the workpiece. A small cut piece can fall into the wide channels and tip up more than 5mm catching the laser housing and move the workpiece ruining the run. Solution:
Amazon.com: ToCome Steel Honeycomb Laser Bed 400 x 400mm 16 x 16" Laser Honeycomb Cutting Bed for Laser Engraver, Cutting Area 400x400mm
$40 USD (in continental US at least) and a few 3d printed plastic mounting tabs to lock this grid to the stock laser bed. Obviously, you have to recalibrate your Z height.
