Ok no problem. I was wondering if you were saying steel honey comb was hard to find.

I have gone down the Aliexpress route & emailed an enquiry to Cloudray for a set plus holders. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.

As an aside to this i visited our local Hackspace last night to have a look, they have a large laser cutter that is obviously heavily used, it has a alloy honeycomb bed installed & the entire inside of the machine plus the bed was caked in black tar. Tbh im surprised it hasnt caught fire yet.

Well i just bought a set of 22 bars from Aliexpress, the bars were cheap as chips, the shipping a fair old whack more. But considering its direct from china its ok. To think that all the stuff on aliexpress used to be made here & now we make sod all.
