Hello, I have a sculpfun C1 that I’ve started using recently.
An issue I’m running into now is that the cartolina I’m using to engrave is waving a bit under the machine. I secured it at the corners with masking tape, aligned it to a template cutout made from the same cartolina.
The wave is sometimes 2 to 3 mm high, which is enough that the removable protection will catch and unlock off the laser (magnet).
How do you keep paper flat ?

Update: I removed an underlying Carolina, and taped the metal protection directly to the same wood slab as the machine. Also, I try not to laser engrave when it’s raining so moisture can’t cause as much waving!
I use tiny cube magnets to keep material stuck down to the bed. You could also try something like painters tape to stick it down so it doesn’t move.
I’ll try the painter’s tape, hadn’t thought of that, thanks!
