Key Features:

• Double-Layer Protection: Combines a honeycomb structure for smoke exhaust and an aluminum panel for heat resistance.
• Efficient Smoke Evacuation: The honeycomb design allows smoke to pass through, reducing residue and improving engraving quality.
• Desktop Protection: The aluminum panel shields your work surface from laser damage and heat.
• Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for various laser engraver machines and materials.

2. Setup and Assembly

The Longer Honeycomb Laser Bed and Aluminum Working Table is designed for ease of use, arriving largely pre-assembled. No complicated installation process is required for the bed itself.

2.1 Unboxing and Inspection

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit. Ensure all listed items are present.

Figure 2.1: The package includes the pre-assembled laser bed, manual, goggles, power adapter, wrench, wooden brush, focus block, and data cable.

2.2 Placement

Place the honeycomb laser bed on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the setup to allow for proper smoke and fume extraction during operation.

3. Operating Instructions

This section outlines the general steps for using the Longer Honeycomb Laser Bed with your laser engraver. Always refer to your specific laser engraver's manual for detailed operational procedures.

3.1 Material Placement

Place the material to be engraved or cut directly onto the honeycomb surface. Ensure the material lies flat and is securely positioned to prevent movement during the engraving process.

3.2 Engraving Process

The honeycomb structure facilitates efficient smoke removal, leading to cleaner engraving results and reduced charring on the underside of materials. The aluminum panel beneath protects your desktop from heat and stray laser beams.

4. Safety Information

Operating laser equipment requires strict adherence to safety protocols. This honeycomb laser bed is designed with features to enhance safety, but user vigilance is paramount.

4.1 Laser Safety

Always wear appropriate laser safety goggles when operating the laser engraver. The laser module includes an anti-laser protective cover, but direct exposure to the laser beam can cause severe eye damage.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your honeycomb laser bed.

5.1 Cleaning the Honeycomb

Over time, debris and residue from engraving can accumulate in the honeycomb cells. Periodically clean the honeycomb structure using a brush or compressed air to maintain efficient smoke evacuation. Ensure the laser engraver is powered off and disconnected before cleaning.

5.2 Cleaning the Aluminum Panel

Wipe the aluminum working table with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dust or residue. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter. For more complex problems, please refer to your laser engraver's manual or contact customer support.

6.1 Uneven Engraving/Cutting

• Check Material Flatness: Ensure the material is perfectly flat on the honeycomb bed. Warped materials can lead to inconsistent focus and results.
• Clean Honeycomb: Accumulated debris can obstruct the laser path or cause uneven support. Clean the honeycomb as described in the Maintenance section.

6.2 Excessive Smoke/Residue

• Verify Ventilation: Ensure your workspace has adequate ventilation and that any exhaust systems are functioning correctly.
• Clean Honeycomb: A clogged honeycomb will hinder smoke evacuation.
