Limits of cut

For example, where is 0,0 in the user interface relative to the back left corner of the honeycomb in the crumb tray assuming the crumb tray is in proper position?

There is no hard and fast position for 0,0 to reference off of right now. People have requested numeric positioning in the past, but I’m not sure what the status of that request is at the moment.

@astevens

And what is the maximum envelope at the current time in relation to 0,0? Is it still something like 19 and 11?

The maximum envelope is a hair under 19.5 x 11, but changes slightly based on the operation (cut vs score vs engrave) and speed.

Maximize print area?

It’s best to put your material in the center of the bed. The Glowforge Basic bed can accommodate materials measuring 18” x 20”. The maximum printable area is 11 x 19.5”, and it’s reduced somewhat when the laser operates at high speed, as it can take space for the laser to decelerate.
