Welcome to my page :^)
I am a new member of the comakingspace and new to most tools in the shop.
My current projects are learning to use Autodesk Fusion and the laser cutter.
When I have my materials and introduction to the machine, I already have a bunch of laser cutter projects on my todo list. I want to start small with a bunch of board game knick-knacks, drawer organisers, desk doodads and stationery accessories. Down the line I want to learn about 3D printing and create some basic ATLAS compatible drawer housings.
Always keen to collaborate in block printing projects :D
Currently I am working on a guide on how-to design collapsible designs using slot and tab joints.
Finished Projects
desk pen organiser
desk trading card shelf
speed token for mtg
fountain pen leather case
photography light box
(backdrop still missing)
In the pipeline
Upcycle mint tins with custom linings
fans (folded, brisé)
engraved acrylic lights
earrings
Materials I have used
The full Laser Cutter Material Settings page has become unwieldy. For quick reference I duplicate my own laser cutter settings in this table.
