Sharing more playtime project. Laser with acrylic. Last thing was October birthday cake topper, inspired by photo of friends' little boy and his dog, looking out of their window together. I added in separate pumpkins and the word ONE. He's one obvs. :) I use Adobe Illustrator and cut on laser. I try to get kerf (hair width material laser removes when it cuts) exact 0.055" +/-, so acrylic inlay slots right in. Not "high art" but it's fun. #illustration #laser #maker #NDBProjectLaser #glowforge
