I need to cut 80 x 40 cm 5mm MDF or plywood.
Can I do that on Falcon 2 Pro as I drew in this photo?
It would be easy to print plastic a vice-like fixture in the rear of the laser cutter, which would always accept plywood pieces in the same spot so that the laser could be precise in 0.25mm.
Thanks for any opinion.
You can remove the drawer but then you have to bridge the magnet switch on the front left. If you want to cut over the whole 80cm, turning it and aligning it could work especially with the built in light burn camera, but not sure if you get to 0.25mm precision that way. Just with the physical, printed fixtures, when turning it the board would have a consistent size within the 0.25mm tolerance to get it aligned reliably.
You can write a suggestion here that you want a conveyor to be added to the Falcon: User's Voice - Creality
Thank you very much. Yes, I have K1 Max 3D printer from Creality, I could easily print some fixtures, I’m just curious is it work surface high enough or do I have to remove that “reinforcement - beam” in the front of the printer…
Are you going to be doing a lot of this, or is this a one-off? I ask because if you are planning to do a lot of large sheets, you can make a jig that would allow you to either:
a) slide the board along a left-hand stop (indicating X=0), and as long as you make some mark on the board to be cut, you can then move the board up (say 390mm) and you can continue cutting. The mark is so that you can align the next cut/engraving mark. The downside to this method, is that your alignment can be slightly off each time you move the piece.
b) make a jig/template that fits underneath the laser cutter, with little places that they feet set into. The downside to this is that you will also need to move the honeycomb and beam-stop each time you move the machine.
Hope this helps.
