First Item of My Own Design Done on the GF

Made on a Glowforge
1

This is my first REAL engrave/cut on the :glowforge:. I had been doing these on my K40. Engraves and cuts MUCH faster on the :glowforge: and cuts in 1 pass, where the K40 would take at least 4 passes to cut. This is on cast acrylic that I got from the scrap bin at TAP Plastics.

The LED base is something that I make from my own design and 3d print.

Two major differences between doing this on the K40 and the :glowforge: -
Outputting from CorelDraw via CorelLaser to the K40 took about 10 seconds and the engrave started immediately. Sending to the :glowforge: takes about 10 minutes to start.

Total time (engrave and cut, 2 different operations on the K40) took about 3 hours, total time on the :glowforge: was about 35 minute. Also, the QUALITY of both the engrave and cut were FAR superior to the K40.

Win for the :glowforge:!

For fun, can anybody tell me what is wrong with the design, as shown?

Great design! :grinning:

Nice!
Totally different guess though. Yes, there is undercarriage visible, but I might have removed the ends of the wide line that extends to the tires. :roll_eyes:

That’s the waterproof hull to double as a boat :ship::grin:
