I tried the updated file and I don’t know why but the pins don’t line up with the holes in the tray. I right clicked saved the svg and opened it in the glowforge app and cut it but the scale is off for me.
I redownloaded and and opened it in inkscape and the scale is correct but when I cut it its bigger than what inkscape shows it to be.
So I finally got it to work by scaling it in the glowforge interface. I don’t know why it comes in to the glowforge interface bigger but if you scale the width to what inkscape says it is then it comes out the right size.
“I like to play chicken with the edge of material on cuts so as to save as much as possible”
Omg - that is such a good phrase to describe it! And that is SO me. 
Thank you for providing these tools (& the write ups too)!

That is so peculiar. I’m not familiar with Inkscape, and I’m not sure why the file would resize on upload to the Glowforge UI. I was going to offer to give you the dimensions that show in the GFUI (heh…gafooey) when I upload it, but it sounds like you got it sorted?
Does anyone have any clues as to what might have caused @syncro53’s troubles? If it’s something I can fix on my SVG, I’d be happy to do so.
That blue stealing in the yellowheart is wicked cool. I assume staining would dull the effect, but what about clear coating?
probably?
maybe?
For clear coat it’d all come down to transmission of UV frequencies. If the coat doesn’t block it, I don’t think it’d affect the fluorescence at all. UV comes in, visible spectra comes out. We know clearcoat lets visible spectra pass through (hence appearing clear), so as long as it lets UV get to the wood I bet it’d glow just fine.
With stains, they filter visible light spectra, so I’d expect the glow to be reduced to some degree… though I dunno, the easiest way to tell would be to try it 
That being said… yellowheart is so ridiculously gorgeous when you sand it to a high polish, it gleams like metal with chatoyancy and character. Check it:
I wouldn’t put stain on it, it’s amazing.
In inkscape the width shows as 1.36 inches but when it is in the glowforge UI I believe it was showing 1.7 something. If I scale the width to 1.36 it prints fine.
Hmmm. In my GFUI, “Always” is 1.79 inches wide and “Right” is 1.71 inches. When the two are selected together, the total width of the pair as arranged in the file is 1.96 inches wide. Like I said, I’ve never used Inkscape, so I’m unsure why it’s giving smaller dimensions when opened there, but I know these fit my GF when cut as-is. It sounds like you’ve found dimensions that work for you, which is awesome, but it’s also got me curious. What model of GF do you have? It doesn’t seem to me that the honeycombs would differ that much, but I’m really new to all of this.
That IS gorgeous. Definitely wouldn’t stain it.
I have the pro but when printed at 1.7 they don’t fit my crumb tray in any direction. That’s ok I was able to get it to work.
Love these - thanks for sharing!

Interesting.
I just printed them and had the same problem as syncro53. I printed with no changes in Glowforge, and they don’t fit. If I scale to what iInkscape says it should be (Always is 1.348 width, Right is 1.283 width) they fit fine.
I have a 13 month old Glowforge Basic.

Oops, I take that back. When I do the scaling, the pins fit into the honeycomb, but the slots to join the pieces together are then scaled wrong. A case of different honeycomb spacing between machines?
