THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I've been getting the material too thick error for 3 hours and couldn't figure it out. The tray made it too tall, adding pieces wasn't tall enough! Thank you for the link to the tool!
I know that the crumb tray is about 1.32" tall. I have a .65" set of tongue/groove boards that i use as a lift. I measure the item I'm engraving, add .65" than subtract 1.32" from the total so I have the "thickness" of the material I'm trying to engrave.
Hello, I love that tool! it is so much easier and faster. i am just starting cutting boards and I was wondering if the settings you mentioned are good for other woods such as olive wood? 😀
Hi Denise! The setting for each type of wood will be different as the grain of the wood and the hardness will differ. I'm not 100% sure about olive wood.
The Glowforge can't actually engrave metal without using a coating first. I would check into what sort would be best for your particular project and do a few test runs with something similar so you don't accidentally ruin your dust cover
Would it be simpler to measure the thickness of the crumb tray, then measure the thickness of the substrate (charcuterie board) and do the math. Meaning, subtract the thickness of the substrate from the crumb tray to determine the substrate height?
Thanks for watching! I actually just measure using that tool in the video, resting it on the bottom of the GF with the crumb tray removed. As long as the surface of the thing I'm engraving is within that check mark area on the tool, I'm golden.
