Whilst waiting for my real honeycomb bed to arrive I remixed this one by Manu D to fit an Ender 3.

I reduced the size of the honeycomb to 210mm x 210mm and then added space for four 17mm x 5mm magnets.

Note the positioning of the magnets means that the overall dimensions will be slightly over the 210 x 210 mm. They were positioned where they were to keep them close to the corners, but also to make sure that none of the honeycomb was interfering with the magnet holes. This was the reason for only making the honeycomb 210 x 210 rather than the maximum printable size.

I added the magnets as I wanted it to stay in place whilst cutting.

I printed it in white Esun PLA+ with no supports

The honeycomb part needs to be face down with the magnet holes face up when printing. This makes sure that the side for the laser cutter is flat.
Also leave it until it is fully cooled before moving it to reduce the chance of warping.

The plan, hopefully, is that the magnets will also keep it flat whilst in use.
