I came across some USB powered laser engravers, It was awesome that these could engrave on a variety of materials and also cut out shapes and designs from sticker sheets and paper and doing all this powered by a 5V USB supply. But the downside of these engravers was that they had a smal...
I do a lot of laser engraving on the Epilog laser engraver/cutters at TechShop SJ (three 60W lasers!) and I like to use display fonts that aren't boring on one hand but aren't too fussy to engrave well on the other. I also like the retro-tech feel of clocks and gears and the l...

. I chose this scale since it fitted the size of his stuffed animal the best. I also added some extra small parts (squares, bars, ...) in the pdf to use as reinforcements for the frame when glueing it all together. When your design is ready, it's time to run to the lasercutter...
Insert the left over acrylic 'coins' from the laser cutting into the bottom lid (maybe glue them in). It's best to have two people for this step or use a clamp to hold the filter in place while adding the filtrates. Insert compression disk 1 with the fabric piece on the bottom so...
