Honeycomb bed holdown pins

[DesignsByPhil]

I’ll post it with Props to the original creator this afternoon. Everyone’s Crumb tray maybe slightly different so it’s best to cut one and test.

Thanks Phil!!

publishing now. give it a few minutes.

Nice. I’ll give the v1.1 a try. Great idea on the plywood for strength. Thanks

I’m still using broken ones, even. I wanted to secure a small canvas panel without overlapping the edges (it would be engraved all over), found the right holes to allow a couple of broken-off pins to secure the material…

I had to adjust the size a bit for my bed, but here’s a new version from Phil’s redesign with the center cut as a separate color. I found that my was cutting the outer line first and the center wasn’t always clean. Separate colors let me re-order the cuts.

Separate colors let me re-order the cuts.

I do the same thing!

I have more of these than I’ll ever use but I like this iteration and may well make a cup or two of these.

@markevans36301

a cup or to of these

We’ll just change that ol’ neighborly thing from ‘may I borrow a cup of sugar’ to this…

I’ve been exclusively using magnets, but I’ve got to give these a try.

Just make sure when you upload them to the GFUI to drag the inner cuts to the top of the processing order and you’ll be golden.

If you made the inner cuts black and the outer cuts red, the GFUI would automatically order them the way you want.

Because Discourse likes to strip out some of the accompanying code.

With Illustrator, if you select Presentation Attributes when you save the SVG, it should display properly here.

@ej.james

Still not sure why the SVG is showing only black, but everything else looks ok.

What’s funny is that it seems to look correct on mobile, but not in a PC browser.

If you haven’t already read through it, take a look at this thread:

Custom Inkscape, Illustrator, CorelDraw and Affinity Designer Color Palettes for ordering operations in GFUI

Continuing the discussion from Space Invaders or Mitral Valve Leaflets, you decide: I have always been curious about how the Glowforge defaults the order of operations. I have tested it in terms of position in the workspace and order of creation in the design. Nothings seemed to click right, but I had a sneaking suspicion that it was dermined by color. The Glowforge catalog designs always load in the same order, though you can drag and change them in the workspace, so I figured there must be so…

@ej.james

Actually, I went back and saved the SVG file with the settings @jbmanning5 suggested and uploaded it again. It looks normal on PC now as well.

I guess I was responding to the images prior to your update. The link I posted wasn’t for that issue though, it was to explain the ordering of operations based on the line/fill colors. That will explain why black cuts before red.

[Xabbess]

I really wanted to make some of this new version, but this is what I get in the GFUI;

no option for ordering cuts…they’re all engrave.

What am I missing here, please?

You will need to bring the file into AD and remove the fill. (Discourse added it in there - it wasn’t zipped.)
