Hi all, I've been having a bit of a play with the laser cutting kit that is in my local library (when they relocated they added a fab lab maker space with vinyl cutters, 3D printers and laser cutters) - over a few weeks I've been steadily experimenting and trying to teach myself how to apply it. Not quite modelling enough to share on the main boards but the mobile has enough of an aviation theme and the map is kind of a very small scale diorama enough that I thought folks on here might be interested I started pretty simple - I wanted a clock using recycled bike parts (brake rotors, gears and the like) and used the laser cutter to do accurate concentric circles for the backing and surrounds. After doing one for myself more folk liked the look of it and wanted their own so accidentally I've ended up selling quite a few like below just through word of mouth With that having gone well and been quite interesting I started making some simple slot together shapes - just some mobiles as decorative items (with an aviation theme) (my wife has pointed out that there are only 8 of them and the formation is iffy) - I've since made a few more with pterodactyls, origami cranes and a BoB dogfight of Spitfires versus 109s I've well pleased with the Spits and 109s From this simple thing I've moved on to doing some more complex shapes with a retro looking rocket Then a bit of a diorama - the North East of England as a 3D topographical map (25cm square covering Druridge Bay to the North York Moors)
