I am trying to make my father in law one of those hammers . Could not figure it out in time for Father day but regardless I would love to know why it wont allow me to enter in the thickness? I removed the tray but it keeps saying to thick ? [Uploading: Screen Shot 2022-06-20 at 9.17.30 AM.png…]

Your best bet is to use the set focus tool after making sure that the surface to be engraved is within the 1/2" focus range of the Glowforge. The surface to be engraved must be between 1.5" and 2" from the floor of the Glowforge. You do not have to input a material thickness.

I did hit set focus but it is still not letting me? What should be entered for material I am using ?

Just hit “submit” and don’t input a thickness after selecting Uncertified Material.

It says no art work ? wont let me hit submit or anything :frowning:

You have to enter engrave settings.

[Screen Shot 2022-06-20 at 9.33.06 AM] I tried that. Sorry I am not sure what exactly to enter . It would only let me choose .5 ?

What is the height of the part you want to engrave above the floor of the machine?

Do not enter any thickness or material height. Make sure that the surface you are engraving is between 1.5" and 2" from the floor of the Glowforge. Make sure that the metal part of the hammer is not over 2" from the floor since the printhead will slam into it if it is too high. Use set focus befor…
