Very helpful, thank you sir. What is the adhesive paper you used?
I have the paper transfer tape in my amazon affiliate shop link here: www.amazon.com/shop/freshstartcustoms
@@FreshStartCustoms Awesome, thanks again!
@@JonFordWoodworks no problem anytime.
Great video. I understand all of this which surprises me lol but just to make sure....when do I take the crumb tray out and do this? Only if my material is over a half inch thick?
Correct
Very cool thank you so much
Thank you for this video! One question. I went through the steps, and everything looked lined up properly. But when I went to engrave the engraving was pushed off to the right side by about 3 inches even though in the display it was lined up properly. Any idea why it does that?
You might need to click set focus and mark the marker first. I think they introduced this after this video.
@@FreshStartCustoms thank you. Yes I realize now that Glowforge updated it to where as long as the item is above the crum tray hight you just click set focus and it will do the math for you. I appreciate you answering anyway.
I just bought a glowforge pro last week, I haven't even set it up yet. Why would one need to take out the crumb tray?
For materials over 0.5 inches but not past 2 inches. That way you can engrave thicker materials
Looks like red oak to me. Thanks for the vid.
Why wouldn't all crumb trays for the respective glow forge version be identical? I really am sort of angry that I paid this much for an engraving machine that I need to do all these extra steps to engrave something that is .7 inches.
There is a slightly newer way to do this that uses auto focus. It will still need to be higher than the original crumb tray height. If you look through my videos, I made another video showing how the newer way works too
Making up the difference between the thickness of your piece and the thickness of the tray must be a super pain in the ass.
It's not that bad. This is also the old way. If you did the camera calibration already you can do the new way. I have another video on that way.
@@FreshStartCustoms can you share that link? so if you calibrate the camera, you don't have to do the step above?

Probably easier to measure the height through the honeycomb.
There are small feet underneath the tray and the metal bottom of the tray as well that could affect the measurements that way.
I stumbled across a site called makercase.com you could potentially build a box to compensate to different sizes...
Yes you could definitely do that.
