Engraving AR mag

Duh!!! Can’t believe I didn’t catch that . I measured the height of the mag off the floor and it defaulted to .500” from that input value. Thanks for catching that error. I’ll redo it with the correct height and check the results. Maybe they should put something in the ui for focus height without the crumb tray. So say I have a 1” tall object I plug in that value in and it tells me to space the object up from the floor the correct amount and automatically set the focus. I know it’s easy math but you get caught up in other things and it’s easy to make an error.

If you want, I made a tutorial on doing the measurements back in PRU days:

Tutorial: How to cut without the Crumb Tray (Honeycomb)

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…
