Hey guys, i’m sort of new to the glowforge community. I already have found myself pushing the bounds of what this machine can do.
Here’s my issue right now. I’m looking to engrave this wood metal tray but the problem is it’s going to be thicker than the crumb tray so I had to take that out. The wood thickness itself is 0.27" while the metal handles themselves reach about 2". I know the laser head nor the arm will have enough gap to pass under them without increasing the gap. Thus changing my calculations entirely. If anyone has some advice or answers let me know! Thanks
It might also depend on the height of the rim as well. The total height that will fit in that space is just over 1/2" (to clear the air assist fan duct, not the base of the head/carriage plate)…
Looking at the back i’m actually seeing small screws to remove the wood. You guys are a life saver! I’m not very bright when it comes to woodworking or improvising. Thanks a lot.
