Glowforge No Tray Block

[jordanconard]

While this is not a laser design, it is free! I made a block that you can 3D print with three steps to be used in place of the crumb tray when engraving larger objects like cutting boards. I also added a small recess in the botton to allow for the use of a magnet (3x18mm) that can be obtained in the States at Home Depot and online various sources. Here is the STL and an image of what it looks like and the Thingiverse link here:

Nice design, great to share.

NOT saying these are better, just for the benefit of those who don’t have a 3D printer, here’s one example of something similar you can make on the GF:

Another set of crumb tray removal jigs

Started working on non-standard thickness materials. Took the plunge and engraved my 13” MacBook Air using the GF MacBook Pro presets. Jigs worked perfectly! The plan is to cut 4 more to support my materials with 8 points on 4 sides and add magnets. The highest step setting is 1.445” so higher than the crumb tray’s 1.367” Notice since the Air is thinner on the front than the back. I used the 2nd and 3rd level steps to achieve a level working height. [image] [image] [image] [image] Crumb J…

Thanks for sharing. I have a (well 2) 3D printers so I may use your idea.

I have 2 3D printers as well. I am going to print some out tomorrow and give them a shot. Thanks for sharing!
