Thanks. I’m good with the machine taking care of it (as long as it works). I’m assuming you’re figuring out how much to over travel if any based on your testing. I appreciate not having to worry about one more setting - part of the “make it easier” mantra. But if not, I’m good with the overdraw the line - I have to do that with one of my lasers but not the other. I do usually have a target machine in mind when I’m doing a design so it’s not hard to fit into the workflow. But the CAD software on the one that I have to specify the over travel on remembers the last setting so I sometimes forget to change it as I’m changing the other parameters on the cut color. Nice to have the machine take care of that if it can.

$0.02: I’ve never had to do anything other than relax and enjoy the default setting.

I’m a huge fan of defaults. Most times someone more experienced or smarter than I made the call as to what it should be. If I can tweak the settings (or work around a default) that’s good too. But good defaults let me concentrate on the things I’m good at and lets the machine do what it’s good at.

Thanks for the update, I really appreciate that you’re being upfront about the downside. For what it’s worth, I think I’m a lot more excited about a 2" material depth sans tray than I am bummed about the slight reduction in working area.
It’s also good to hear about the exhaustive pre-ship email. Yeah, it’s a lot of info, but as a customer that’s exactly the kind of thing I want and need on a purchase like this.

Either that or the equivalent to a Jägerbomb. I usually err on the side of alcohol, so you can probably guess which one I’d prefer.
