Improving the F-series: Solving the "Drop & Burn" issue I used to have trouble with the stock flat panel—cut pieces would fall, tilt, and get charred during multiple passes. To fix this, I built Prototype 2: a smoke/flame extraction box using a 300x300mm honeycomb board.
Results: The extraction works perfectly! I’m finally free from manually using a compressor and air duster to manage smoke. I’m already working on fine-tuning the details.
I’m currently updating the XS files (dealing with some translation issues), so stay tuned. Hope this helps anyone facing similar issues!

Materials
Item: 3mm Walnut Plywood (300mm x 300mm) by xTool
Characteristics: Double-sided walnut veneer. Both the wood and the adhesive are high-density and hard.
Odor: Produces a stronger, distinct odor during engraving and cutting compared to basswood.
Precision: Higher dimensional accuracy than basswood (2.8–2.9mm); vernier caliper measurements are consistently near 3.0mm.
Compatibility / Design
Base: Third-party Honeycomb Board (300mm x 300mm).
Modifications: Designed to fit the 300mm board size by engraving shallow, oval-shaped recesses at each corner to accommodate 8 rivets (Size: 2mm height x 8mm diameter)
Important: Why draw at 310mm oversize for 300mm material?
When working with a 300mm x 300mm design:
Conclusion: The cutting process will inevitably fail.
Reason: If the maximum material size and the drawing size are the same, it is difficult to perfectly align the edges to be cut, so by making the drawing size a few mm larger on both
sides, you can ensure cutting from end to end.
When working with a 310mm (oversized) material:
Marking: Mark the precise center point on the material.
Setup: Place the material horizontally and perpendicularly using jigs or fixtures.
Aiming: Align the laser module exactly with the center point of the material.
Verification & Processing: After confirming and adjusting the position via framing, start the laser process.
Note: Although a slight deviation (approx. 0.5mm) may occur, it can be corrected using the connecting boards during assembly.
