Laser O Rama

The lasering continues. This time I built a secret combination lock box. You have to move the shields in the correct manner to reveal the goodness inside. Too bad I don’t have anything to hide inside. Thank you laser.

Engraving Hans into some wood

Here I am experimenting with engraving in wood.  I carved “Hans” out.  It works like a charm.

More fun with the laser.

Here is a laser cut do nothing machine.  The finger is cut out of fluorescent acrylic.  The box is held together with 1/2 nuts and screws.  Only had to cut this once as i designed it in Inkscape and all the pieces fit like a glove.

Sample laser cuts

Here are some sample cuts I made. The pacman is three different colors of acrylic put together. The lock an tumbler are from thingaverse.com. The pattern had some errors but they were easily fixed.

Let there be lasers

20111228-124506.jpgWell here it is baby, laser cutter. I’ve wanted one for a long time and now I have found a great one for a reasonable price. I got it from fslaser. The laser tube was damaged in shipping, but they sent me a new one super fast. So far I have cut wood and acrylic up to a quarter inch thick. Yeah
