Then people would }!+<# and moan that they are in either standard or metric, since it would be pretty difficult to put both measurements on the inner lip where they need to be.
so true. i actually have both on my cutting table. but since i use inches for paper sizes, it drives me nuts that the metric is on the edge and i have to eyeball a bit to see the inches.
Universal is in inches, but it’s the crumb tray, so I’m guessing there are two versions and you can choose. could offer an option.
i’d convince my office to buy a second tray if i could get one in steel. the one that came with the universal is aluminum. and while i appreciate the weight, since it’s significantly larger than the tray (in all three dimensions), i hate the fact that i can’t use magnets on the aluminum honeycomb. i’ve gotten so spoiled with that, especially with materials that aren’t perfectly flat.
that’s how universal lasers makes their crumb trays (it’s in the Universal PL6 at my office). the measurements are engraved into the metal and filled with white. it’s a very different crumb tray than the glowforge one.
