I decided to play around with a simple decoration design and used a variant of the pachimari I’d done before, but made some slots and holes in it to assemble two faces at 90 degrees. I wanted to etch both sides of the wood and thought it would be a good test of my ability to flip it over and get it aligned again. I ended up just holding the base of the wood with my hand like a hinge and tipping it up while I swept the cut outs to the side, then tipped it back down into the same position. Then I took the cut pieces and flipped them over and replaced them into the holes in the wood where they’d come from (only works for designs that are mirrored left/right I guess :)) Then I set the cut section to ignore and printed again. It worked very well and I got a two sided print as I’d hoped.
Awesome! I did a similar thing recently but I held the wood down and use the tip of a sharp knife to left the pieces out and turns flip them over and back into their original holes.
We haven’t finished double-sided engraving yet, so this is a clever workaround!
This is so adorable!! I don’t even play Overwatch but I already want a hanging mobile with a huge cluster of these haha
Nice design and work around on the double sided engrave.
I’ve been debating making a plush, but this is super cute and looks so much easier!
you gotta make the plush! with squeaker and lead weight! lol
A squeaker would definitely be a must! To be honest, I’ve never made a plush before, but my sewing machine is getting a bit dusty, so it may be time to try something new.
Nice demo of the double sided engrave! (With 3D alignment, no less!) Thank you!
Squeeeeeee!
So very clever (and cute!). - Rich
So cute! Great job on the double sided engrave
Excellent and very clever!
Great Project! Wonderful job.
Very nice job!! Are the double holes for hanging?
Yes, I ran a strand of monofilament through there and made a quick hanging loop. It’s all ready for the Christmas tree now. Though, I guess I could make a topper for the tree as well
Now that is a great solution! Brilliant
Can you upload the file I would love you forever.
Sadly, they’re not allowed to @shodanime, (one of the rules), although I’m sure they would like to give them out.
