Tips from other designers
Intricate cuts with parts less than 2mm/0.078" can burn and disintegrate. Having details smaller than this is not recommended.
the bamboo must be 4mm. this is for the sunglasses frame
sands quickly!
Which is good since I designed for the original spec of 5.0 mm :)
Note that the grain always runs horizontally.
I just got my test piece, and on a P1, the thickness varies from around 5.05 to 5.55 mm. The weird thing is that the thickness increases at a pretty steady rate, running across the grain. It's not random at all. (at least on this piece. YMMV)
And the cutting takes away about 0.05-0.09mm.
And sanding the burnt edge off (if you choose to do so) takes off roughly another 0.1mm
