I was also frustrated by not having a labeled origin and work area. Here is what I did to help myself.
- Put blue painter’s tape on the bed, all the way around the perimeter
- Create a simple un-filled rectangle SVG
- Drop your rectangle into the GF UI
- Resize with the drag handles so that the rectangle occupies the entire cuttable area
- Cut at something like speed 500, power 6 to cut the tape
- Peel away the inner part, now you see the work area
Like @chris1 said, visual alignment may or may not get better, and for now you’ll need to use techniques other than the camera to align your cuts.
This is what my bed looks like right now. It’s not the answer to our prayers, but it provides a little help.
