FAQ: Dimensions
The PiBurn V4 currently comes in three sizes lengthwise. Standard is 564 mm (22.3 in), including motor, Short is 496 mm (19.5 in), including motor, Mini is 397 (15.7 in), including motor. PiBurn Grip is 22mm (0.87 in) longer than V4.
Great thing about PiBurn is that it can be easily cut to the required size because it’s base is made out of an aluminum extrusion beam that can be easily cut with any saw.
If you ordering for Boss Laser, the following lengths will be selected for you :
- For LS1416 Mini
- For LS1420 Short
- For LS1620 and above, Standard
In most cases, you need to worry about height clearance from the bottom of the PiBurn rail to the top of the cup you are going to engrave. And then, add focal distance from your laser nozzle to the top of the cup. For example, if you are engraving a 20 oz Polar Camel tumbler, you will need about 5.72″ inches from the bottom of your laser to the top of the cup plus another 8mm (in this case, it’s the distance from the Aeon Mira nozzle to object for 2″ lens) so you will need to have at least 6.1 inches clearance. Many laser machines allow you to remove the honeycomb as well as blades/slats so you can place PiBurn on the laser floor/tray. This will give you maximum clearance.
Feet Consideration
Standard feet will provide maximum headroom, however if you opted for magnetic feet, that will add about 20.5 mm of height to the PiBurn. However magnetic feet can be completely folded up allowing you to have same clearance as standard feet! Drawing above shows PiBurn with Magnetic Feet.
