From the first mention of the project I was doing, it got me intrigued on thinking of some logos of my favorite forms of media including but not limited to movies, video games, TV-shows, music, and memes. After putting the clip-art in the basic format on Illustrator and modified the pictures into paths for the laser to follow. After completing the settings I saved them and transferred them to the desktop hooked up to the laser.
After setting up the laser to a rotary jig and uploaded the file and set up the settings. After that long process I inserted an aluminum water bottle and set up the laser for the placement of the engraving and pictures. From there I waited close to the laser for it to finish and for any problems to occur. But all of that effort was worth something unique that no one can recreate. But that is not the only thing I created, I also made a custom note book cover out of mat board. The design is a Lamborghini with my name on the bottom of the front cover and a mirrored Lamborghini on the back. The process of making the note book is similar to how the key chain was done, so the differences are the materials and the design of the cover. Finally, this is my last item from the laser cutter. I got this design from a website called Thingiverse, I was looking up a pre-existing file created for Illustrator. Once it was loaded up I checked if the design would create any flaws in the structure. When everything is ready, the cutter followed the path and made a simple little box. |
