Free Art / Book Stand - Personal Use

My infant son had a post-op followup visit with the neurosurgeon this morning, and my wife suggested last night I make him a laser tile as a thank you gift. I did. And then she said it would be nice if we had a little stand for it. Your design to the quick rescue! I had to scale it down for the 4 inch tile, while keeping the notches/ slots at 1/8 inch in width, but it came out ok.

Incredible, I was actually going to make something similar for a sign I made, but you’ve saved me some time! Thank you so much!

I made another version with some cutouts. Because I apparently can’t stop tweaking things haha. I have NOT tested this yet since I’m out of materials … two shipments of proof grade coming monday so I have to sit on my hands until then.

Tried using this to make some stands for my wife but it won’t let me cut, just engrave. Says its not able to cut bitmap files. However I am actually using an SVG. Any Ideas?

Did you right-click and do a “Save As” SVG file on the picture of the stand above? Sounds like it was saved as a bmp/jpg/png. I know this one works because I used it last month.

This is beautiful, thank you for sharing! I’ve been meaning to design something forever to show off the book I bought for my wife as a wedding present: a textbook on indo-european linguistics previously owned (and signed) by J.R.R. Tolkien. This will get me started nicely :smiley:

Those open places are nice, but I found a lot of issues and some of it got left behind when I was fine tuning the location. so I went back and rounded all the sharp corners to lessen the burn-through bugaboo and then each a complete object so there would not be any “left behinds”.

Thinking about it I decided I wanted one for the tripod too

Unfortunately it is held on the tripod with a ring magnet and the one I had was not strong enough though the Gorilla glue I put it in place with worked better than I have ever seen it work before.

So it fell off the tripod and broke a foot so I sawed off the other foot and it is a refrigerator magnet holding a broom and mop on the side of the refrigerator with a jury rig assist from above.

I will probably make another when I find the right magnet

Well, I made another and this time with a 3\4" hole instead of half inch, I also did a layup for one small enough for the phone but have not cut it out yet.
