Finding a Logo online for tracing
Lasercutting a 3D Snowflake
- You can find a snowflake online to trace ... and you only trace one. THEN, you copy and paste it before adding the box and the hole
- The box has to be the width of a piece of birch (.125"?) and it needs to be half as tall as your snowflake.
Laser-cutting a Cell Phone Stand
- Cell Phone Stand Video 1- Base File Setup
- Call it "Username Cell Stand Back"
- 12x12” workspace size
- Change to RGB
- Cell Phone Stand Video 2- Setting Up your Back Piece
- Open "Username Cell Stand Back"
- Increase the size of the bottom hole to put in the cords
- 7” tall, 4” wide
- Cell Phone Stand Video 3- Bottom Piece
- Call it "Username Cell Stand Base"
- You will need to add an Engraved Decoration after. Decorations can be traced from the Internet or they could be copied and pasted from any of your earlier work ... and if it's YOUR work, it's not cheating!
Coaster or Sign
Every Hall Sign should have:
- a 12” x 12” RGB Red rounded rectangle (coasters are smaller, maybe 4" x 4")
- RGB Logo or Design to be traced
- RGB Blue Arrows and Words in a legible font
- Talk to your client to figure out how to make yours special
- What are your plans for colors after it’s lasercut and engraved? (I don't think you WANT to color a coaster unless your client requests it)
HallPass
- a 3” x 3” RGB Red rounded rectangle and a circular hole at the top
- RGB Blue Hornet
- RGB Blue teacher name and room number and the words “Hall Pass”
- Talk to the teacher to figure out what other decorations to add in RGB Blue.
earrings
- This is usually a cool shape in RGB Red with an RGB Blue engraving in the middle (copy and paste, maybe reverse the image?)
- You will need a small RGB ellipse at the top to connect to the metal in my desk drawer.
garden stakes
- This has a design at the top.
- The RGB red outline will have to end in a point (for inserting into the ground).
lanyard charm
- This is usually a cool shape in RGB Red with an RGB Blue engraving in the middle.
- You will need a small RGB ellipse at the top AND at the bottom for holes to connect to the lanyard.
shadow box (4 interconnecting walls with the same design)
- Everything will need to be in RGB red because it will cut through (no RGB Blue-no engraving). You can copy and paste your design onto the other 3 walls. Notice the edges of the walls, it will need to fit together!!
- A good visual of the walls outlines
- A whole bunch of links to possible programs (and the names of the joints in Step 11 at the bottom)
