A couple of you beat me to it but here’s the bottle opener class from yesterday. So glad the power came back on in time. Everyone did a fantastic job!

Trying some resin work. Maybe for Christmas ornaments? Cut them out on laser then filled with resin that had some color.

Next time I’ll only scan versus cut the design, won’t have to put tape in the back or use as much resin I guess.

Thanks the Steve @Lordrook for his help and suggestions with this!

Just remember that raster engraving takes much more time than vector cutting.

Good point Cary, hadn’t thought of that, will have to do some experimenting!!

I made nametags for all the teachers at the space. Right now they are on the laser work table. If they get moved I will update this post. If you teach classes and don’t see your name, let me know and Ill get you one made. Otherwise, pick yours up next time you’re at the space.

I believe you missed me. Could you make mine to say “Malcolm”. I’m not aware of any others with my name and if you throw the last name on there the print gets small.

EDIT: Nope, it’s there.

Very nice. I’m inspired by the possibilities.

You could make a two-layer piece - thin top layer to encase the resin, thicker backing.

Unless you want it to somehow be see-through …
