Also check the thickness on the pigeons - I’ve handled a bunch of them and IIRC they might be too thick to process on the tray. You have a 1/2" thickness limit on the tray use.

(You’d likely have to take the tray out and use a prop of some sort. If you haven’t read the tutorial on how to do that, you need to before attempting it.)

Tutorial: How to cut objects too thick to have the honeycomb in place The GlowForge has a maximum material thickness it can cut through, but there is a maximum thickness you can even put on the honeycomb (crumb tray) even if you are surface engraving as the laser has a limited focus range of 0.01" - 0.4" *** above the surface of the honeycomb at the time of this tutorial. But let’s say you wanted to engrave something thicker that fits quite nicely inside the GlowForge but not with the crumb tray…
