Can't print - fails on preparing design

It should be clarified that up to 0.5" will fit/clear, and also emphasize that the laser workspace must be equal to or less than 0.433" to achieve a focus/calibration/cut.

You can cut thicker materials. It’s only the focus that can’t adjust to higher than .433", at this time. They have said that it will change in the future, and be able to make it to .500" (as stated in the specifications).

I cut through 1/2" acrylic without a problem:

1/2" Cast Acrylic

I had a need to made some parts out of 1/2" clear cast acrylic. I bought the material from Inventables using my GlowCredit, and after a few stabs in the dark, wound up with this mess: [MVIMG_20171031_202744] And, the first fire I had to put out. It was time for something more methodical. I give you: [Untitled-1] These are single line, 1/2" in length cuts at various focal depths and cutting speeds. All are at 100% Basic Power. .433" at 100 GlowySpeed gave fairly consistent cuts completel…

EDIT TO CLARIFY: The 1/2" acrylic cuts I did were done with the material sitting on the crumbtray. I did not need to remove the crumbtray to get it to fit/cut.
