Hello all,
i’m doing a conversion from my old Prusa 3D printer
bosh >
Into a 8w laser cutting diode machine device contraption.
It’s pretty powerful all things considered so i need to update the bed from acrylic to something else.
I was thinking about having a steel sheet cut to size to go over the acrylic base, essentially replacing the glass printing surface and then having spacers with a stainless steel mesh on top. Essentially i’m trying to emulate a honeycomb bed like in more powerful laser cutters so there is a bit of air around the cut point, stopping/reducing singe marks.
Has anybody done anything like this before?
Any guidance welcome!
