Laser Cutting

I like LaserGRBL. It meets my needs for the most part, and I already knew enough other packages that Lightburn seemed unnecessary. One major gripe though is pathing. for vector work, LaserGRBL seems to generate its toolpath based on the order that I designed the drawing. This feels really inefficient with the thing hopping around all over the place. Anybody know of a way to strip that information from the SVG, or somehow optimize it before going to the laser?

Just a small lasercut project after too many people were hitting me with "uwu"

I'm waiting for some different bases to ship so I can give Gengar a spookier color

Turns out a misaligned mirror made the laser hit the lens in a weird way, and then bouncing off something on the way out to produce this double line. Probably. What kind of strange troubleshooting have you done and what was the reason/fix?

it's basically an atx psu on steroids.

Made of 1/8" Birch ply, stained and painted

My latest shopping nightmare has been trying to find 12x12" or 4x4" photo frames that are already backlit or that I can easily backlight so I can put etched mirrors (or etched acrylic or glass) and have it look SUPER COOL. I feel sure that these things exist somewhere but trying to search the current web marketplaces (amazon, ali*, etc) is super frustrating.

I made a couple of laser bed nail boards for my Creality Falcon Module on my Ender 3 V2.

I originally made this model for a nail board, that used the bamboo cutting board from Dollar Tree.

I started by making a template in Fusion 360 and exporting a DXF file for LightBurn. (The export is completely doable with a personal license - with just a few extra steps)

And glued some magnets on the bottom to keep them from moving around.

I used:

2 ea. Dollar Tree Bamboo board

1 ea. Dollar Tree 9 x 13 Aluminum pan

3 ea. Home Depot #16 x 1-1/4in Wire Nails (1oz package)
