Buying guide: honeycomb beds for the D1 Pro

Size the bed to your frame

The listings state D1 Pro compatibility, and a 500 by 500 mm bed covers the frame with room to spare. The Creality bed is 19.7 by 19.7 inches and the UniTak3D is 500 by 500 mm with a 460 by 460 mm working area. The Dofiki extension is a different animal at 950 by 460 mm, made for extended D1 and D1 Pro frames; do not order it for a standard frame. The Cloudray set assembles into a 400 by 400 mm bed, which suits smaller CO2 setups more than a full-size D1 Pro. See honeycomb bed for laser cutter for beds across other machines.

Steel, iron or aluminum core

Core material decides whether magnets work as hold-downs. The Creality bed uses an iron honeycomb core and the Dofiki a steel grid, and both listings say magnets hold materials down on them. The UniTak3D uses a steel honeycomb core too, while the Cloudray set is aluminum alloy, where magnets will not grip. If you cut thin stock that lifts in the air assist stream, pick a steel or iron bed and budget for magnets. Our honeycomb pins vs magnetic hold downs guide compares the two approaches.

Smoke, heat and your table

A honeycomb bed earns its keep twice: it vents smoke away from the cut and it shields the table. The Dofiki, UniTak3D and Creality listings all include a metal plate or sheet under the grid to protect the desktop. The Creality kit adds 4 silicone feet that create a 2/5 inch gap for smoke escape, and the Dofiki’s open design is stated to filter smoke and reduce staining on wood. Pair the bed with airflow: our air assist vs no air assist guide covers the other half of clean cuts.

How to choose the best honeycomb bed for xtool d1 pro

Start with the frame. Standard D1 Pro owners can choose between the Creality and UniTak3D 500 mm beds; the Creality states a lifetime quality guarantee and an iron core, while the UniTak3D states D1 and D1 Pro compatibility outright plus a measurement scale. Extended-frame owners get one real option here, the Dofiki 950 by 460 mm extension. CO2 owners shopping small can consider the Cloudray four-panel set, which ships as 400 by 100 mm pieces and assembles into a 400 by 400 mm bed.

Weight, thickness and what they tell you

Weight tracks construction. The Dofiki extension is 17.51 lb of hardened steel with riveted edges, stated fireproof and rustproof, which is what a 950 by 460 mm bed needs to stay flat. The UniTak3D is 5.59 lb with an all-metal build and a steel honeycomb core, and its box includes 10 rivets, 10 silicone pads and 4 protective corners. The Cloudray set is 3 lb gross with a 2 mm thick plate and a stated load capacity of 110 lb, and the Creality is full-metal with supporting pillars in the middle of the honeycomb for stability. A heavier bed resists warping under heat; a lighter one is easier to store.

Black finish and reflection

Two listings call out their finish. The UniTak3D states that its black plate reduces reflection of the laser head and extends the lifespan of the laser head. The Cloudray is black anodized aluminum with a coated surface stated for corrosion resistance. If you engrave light materials where reflected light matters, the stated anti-reflection finish is worth weighing.

Assembly and what comes in the box

The UniTak3D ships with the honeycomb plate, an aluminum plate, 4 protective corners, 10 rivets and 10 silicone pads, plus a measurement scale printed on the bed for quick material sizing. The Creality adds 4 silicone feet that create a 2/5 inch gap for smoke escape. The Dofiki notes that honeycomb needles are not included in the package. The Cloudray arrives as 4 panels of 400 by 100 mm that align at the edge for assembly, with optional positioning fixture clamps and a user manual. Compare the full packing list before ordering, not just the bed.

Project Match

How the scores add up

Each bed is scored out of 10 on performance, build, value, safety and warranty, with the weights published on our How We Pick page. A spec the listing does not publish scores nothing. The Creality bed leads on its stated lifetime quality guarantee and magnet-ready iron core, while the Dofiki extension wins on sheer working area for extended frames.

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each product’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score.

FAQ: lasers and CNC

What size honeycomb bed fits the XTool D1 Pro?

A 500 by 500 mm bed fits the D1 Pro frame. The Creality and UniTak3D beds are both 500 mm class, and the Dofiki 950 by 460 mm extension is for extended frames only.

Do honeycomb beds work with magnets?

Only on steel or iron cores. The Creality iron core and the Dofiki steel grid are both stated magnet-ready. The Cloudray set is aluminum alloy, where magnets will not hold.

Do I need the metal plate under the honeycomb?

The Dofiki, UniTak3D and Creality listings all include one, and its stated job is to protect your desktop from the laser and collect debris. Run the grid without it only if you have another way to shield the table.

How do you clean a honeycomb bed?

The Cloudray listing advises brushing away debris after each use and wiping the panel with a soft cloth or brush to avoid scratching the surface. Clean the metal plate under the grid too, since it collects the fall-through.

Which of these beds states a warranty?

Only the Creality, with a stated lifetime quality guarantee and 24-hour customer contact. The other three listings state no warranty term.
