I’m sorry, I just saw this. Looking at your photo, it does appear that the cells of your honeycomb are a little askew, aren’t they? If you can measure the distance between the center of them in millimeters, I should.be able to make you a custom file. The Always Right may not sit exactly “right” but you could always use two Straddlers—one horizontal and one vertical—near the corners of your work. They don’t necessarily have to interlock.

I really appreciate it, I don’t know why my tray is so different than others. I am away right now but will measure them when I get home.

[heinj]

I got my GF pre pandemic lol

[eflyguy]

That certainly could explain it then. They used various materials/suppliers early on. Some trays were silver, not black.

"Always Right" Honeycomb Pins for Assuring a Right Angle

Be careful: the angle here is not always right, and it is also not necessarily aligned with the laser gantry. These kinds of tricks are only useful for “good enough” rotational alignment, and not of much assistance in terms of placement. The crumbtray is not uniformly orthogonal, and it can move/rotate inside your glowforge. Ergo, neither its position nor its orthogonality can be relied on for highly accurate applications. As always the best way to do what you’re trying to ensure here is to…

This was a good illustration of what I was saying.
