Guitar builder needs assistance

Yeah, it would take awhile. Guess I’m not really thinking real world. A couple of my banjos, and my jam mates’ fiddles, mandolins, and guitars are 80-100 years old. The stuff I’m making now won’t survive long enough to need a fret job.

I’m sorry for the trouble while trying to dial everything in for your project. It looks like you’ve already received some excellent information from our other community members. Thanks folks!

As @rpegg mentioned, since your prints are landing more than ¼” away from where they were positioned in the preview, I recommend recalibrating the camera in your Glowforge to fix it.

You’ll need a 12” x 20” piece of Proofgrade material with no markings or stickers. The feature was designed to be used with a flat piece of medium Proofgrade Draftboard, used upside-down (with the QR code side down). It may work with other materials that are the same size and use the same print settings as well, like Proofgrade plywood.

It prints a grid of markings, takes a picture, then measures its height in multiple locations. This data is used to make your camera more accurate for future prints.

Should you finish all of these steps, and find that you have an alignment error of more than 1/4", please measure the accuracy of the camera and send us a screenshot of the results. Our team looks forward to hearing how it goes!

Thank you!!
