Engraving bed for VL300. Buy or Loan!
Hi, I'm looking for an engraving bed for my laser to check whether it is misaligned or not!

Even if there are none for sale anywhere, if someone had one I could borrow briefly that would be fantastic.

Hi Pete,

Instead of using the engraving table use a 4mm allen key & sit the focus tool on this.

So do I sit the allen key on one of the two raised sections of the base, ie not where the plug connector is for the tables? Might have to try and take a photo to make it a little clearer!

Yes ,

Sorry, I should have explained Peter.

Remove the honeycomb bed & lay the allen key on the raised section then place the focus tool on top of the allen key & reset the height.

Do you know how to reset it?

(from memory you need to be in the setup tab, then press Crtrl & F3, then yes to save new value).

Hi Martin,

Yeah I think I had read that somewhere here on the forum. Can I also reset the X and Y in the same way. The red dot hovers around 3mm from the corner of the honeycomb bed.

If so, is this a different CTRL + F (key), than CTRL + F3 for the Z axis?

Pete
