Hello there folks. I cut a good amount of small items that tend to fall through or get stuck in the grid. This is a real pain since I have to remove the grid and gather up the parts and then re-focus again. Picking the many stuck items out of the grid is a big time waster too. We're talking 1/8" Birch plywood material.

So - I am thinking about building a box to capture the small pieces. Finally here are the questions:

1 - How deep should the box be so the laser doesn't cut through the bottom?
2 - Should I make the bottom with a screen so it will vent?
3 - Any alternate ideas?
