One of the most beloved machines in any FabLab? The laser cutter!

\r\nFast, precise, and incredibly versatile, laser cutters are used daily for prototyping, signage, model-making and much more. But to truly get the most out of them, makers rely on clever tools \u2013 printable add-ons that simplify setup, improve safety, organize materials, and make laser workflows smoother and more efficient.\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

Common Laser Cutting Challenges \u2013 and How You Can Solve Them

\r\nHere are some real-world challenges from FabLabs and makerspaces that can be solved with clever, 3D-printable tools.\u00a0\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

Holding down lasered materials (flat as well as oddly shaped): Laser bed pins, magnetic material clamps, low-profile corner jigs
Preventing flashback and burn marks: Cutting bed upgrades, mesh supports, custom honeycomb feet
Improving exhaust and air assist systems: Hose adapters, vent covers and plugs, air assist mounts or guides
Organizing laser accessories and maintenance kits: Trays or wall mounts for focus tools, veneer calipers, tape rolls or cleaning supplies
Managing materials and leftovers: Stackable material holders (plywood, acrylic, cardboard), offcut sorters, size template tools
Cleaning and maintenance: Specialized cleaning tools for vents or laser beds
Post-processing cut pieces: Mini sanding jigs, part holders for finishing edges
Helping others learn: Training aids, demo models, visual safety guides
Spare or replacement parts: Focus tools for different lenses or material thicknesses
Workshop signage: Safety rules or settings signage, quick-start guides
