Hi Stephen,
From our wiki :o)

There are some obstructions into the working area due to the bed lift mechanism, so it's not a pure 300x450mm rectangle. There will be a template near the machine we can use to mark out stock before cutting. Alternatively you can put purely rectangular stock of a size up to about 260x420mm straight in the machine.

Sadly community wikis are managed by groups of people who usually have better things to do then manage wikis. :P

The laser bed on our current laser is about 620x380, but if you are stretching the limits measure it out first. You want to check the range of the laser head, not the size the bed.

The wiki information was for the last laser which was smaller.

Tim.

Oh ffs .
I'll change the wiki in the morning.
I've just finished making a spice rack inkscape. I could have put extra spices in!

That's what everyone says :)

Thanks for getting back to me

the big bit is 338mm by 420mm (the board will be larger) so at the end of
the day it will fit. :D

I thought it might because the Prusa i3 was larger then the size in the
wiki but I manage to cut it...

I hope to see you folks on Monday or Tuesday :)

Cheers

The end cheeks I cut for my modular synth were about 590mm in X and I remember that being very nearly as far as it would go. I doubt there's more than another 10mm in it

Will be playing that game again soon for chassis #3. One does not simply finish a modular
