Bed view

Day 1 user of the Glowforge. I’m wondering if the camera is out of alignment. I’m unable to see about the top 2 inches of my layout bed, but as seen in the image below, about 2 inches of the handle at the south end of the picture. This is causing me to be unable to print/cut the top 2 inches of my material.

Ways to correct? Or is this expected behavior?

The printable area of your bed is fully visible.

The bed is ~20x12, the printable area is ~19.5x10.9.

Thank you! No such thing as a dumb question - but I usually test those limits.

Welcome! You’re in good company here–there’s nothing foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool, as even 2 1/2 years on I keep reminding myself… Enjoy your new GF–but also keep in the mind the type of job and speed can affect the working area, too since the faster the head moves, the more space is needed for it to slow down and reverse direction…

Thanks for the help, @eflyguy and @bansai8creations, that’s right. I’m going to close this thread - if you run into any other trouble, go ahead and post a new topic. Happy printing!
