Cardboard scratch puzzles

[edrabbit]

Just moved to a new place and finally had some time to setup the GF. After setting it up I had to make something with it, but didn’t have anything in the queue. Thanks to Jigsaw puzzle generator for the puzzle generator, Google search for a public domain image, and Amazon for the random cardboard. I busted out this 4" x 4" octopus puzzle in about 20 minutes of laser time.

Slightly better than the first cardboard puzzle…

Neat! I really like the idea of using cardboard for this. You can do greeting card puzzles without using up your good stuff.

Very nice! (And the first one is very minimalist!)

Nice work! You sure picked up the difficulty level after the first puzzle.

Do you mind sharing which settings you used to get both the engrave & the cut? Our Glowforge just got in a couple of nights ago & I’m nervous about setting things on fire…
