Here is a Christmas Bauble Cube project and a Christmas 3 Layered Bauble project for everyone!
Project 1:
Christmas Bauble Cube
Images
Designed in Inkscape as well as importing some partial images.
Design work ~15 minutes.
Either download the images here or from the online repository linked in the about section or linked here: https://bit.ly/3VIOKsD
Settings
Material: Basswood Plywood 2mm
Settings: Gcode, Power-100, Depth-26, Pass-3
(Note: Your settings might well be different or you might need another pass depending on your wood)
Time: Total cut time 22 minutes (most complex side was 6 minutes).
Steps
1 - With the images (black), use Gcode mode and size to 65mm. They should be square.
2 - Bottom side has a hole so you can turn on and off a battery operated tea light if you put one in. Either tape or glue it to the bottom.
3 - Thread a string or other through the two holes in the top "star" side...
4 - Either tape or glue everything together from the inside, but leave one side untaped/ glued so that you can open it to add/ remove the battery operated tealight should you wish.
Notes
- You can also see a mini clip of cutting in action and also the bits left over from cutting.
- Don't forget to clean your cutting plate either! Look at the residue left behind and it smells!
- Cut with the Android Laserpecker app.
