Honeycomb bed holdown pins

Yeah, the stands haven’t been as well adopted as I had hoped. The stands mostly live alongside the loose pegs now–in a box. :upside_down_face:

I cut a small box from cardboard that lives on the side panel next to the lid. I use a number of hold-down solutions so a box is more convenient anyway.

I printed several of these pins. They are very nice. However they won’t fit into my honeycomb black glowforge grid. What material thickness did you use? I used medium draftboard. I know I’m probably doing something wrong. I tried forcing them in and they won’t go, I made sure the material was removed from the expansion slot in the pin.
Thank you,
Terry

Not sure what could be the issue here. I have made them from draftboard scraps, although they broke as they are not as robust as using ply. Medium Maple Ply works great, as does THD-sourced Maple ply, which is 5/32"…

They frequently go in at one angle, but not the reverse - and they don’t go in straight - have you tried rotating?

If they’re significantly too big it’s also possible you accidently resized them when moving.
