The bad news is…the settings for acrylic char the hell out of the thin, un-masked non-PG ply that I was cutting it out of, so it looks like any time we want to do something like this we’re going to have to tailor the settings to the material.
Next: dovetails with interesting contours in the pins and tails. The canonical version is based on what a saw (or relatively simple router bit set) can do, but we have LASERS.
As long as there are no undercuts/overhangs, the sky is the limit. (Yeah, probably not as strong as a canonical dovetails, but that’s seldom an issue)
super sweet! Just to add to the instructions – I changed the engrave settings for the gradient bmps to 3D render, and changed to 3 passes. They fit together great. There’s a tiny bit of wiggle with medium acrylic, but medium maple hardwood snapped together perfectly and is a nice, stable fit.
