Hmmm, Wonder what it would look and flex like with the Glowforge logo?
My thought as well
I will be experimenting with it when I have my Glowforge. When I have it dialed in, Iām willing to share my file.
I could see them being pretty nifty placemat/trivets all by themselves.
Exactly what I was thinking
This is so lovelyāI canāt WAIT to try it. Thank you SO MUCH for including the files!
Thanks for sharing! I 3D printed a similar pattern out of PLA, and it was extremely flexible. I had never even considered trying to do something similar with a laser!
What an amazing idea! Could someone please tell me if Glowforge software can read DVX files? If not, if Iāll use the vector/image files from my current laser cutter.
Hey there, folks. I was on Amazon this morning looking for some electronic components and found this really cool enclosure that was made using the techniques weāve been talking about:
Flex Case for BeagleBone Black (Wood)
I like the rustic look of it. When I get my Glowforge, Iāll make an Arduino version.
This concept entranced me: http://www.instructables.com/id/Super-flexible-duble-curvature-surface-laser-cut-p/ (and, oh! hey! Thereās a topic about this already. Go, go, Glowforge forum software.)
So, I made one at the lab today:
We were likeā¦ umā¦ this project is making us uncomfortable.
We talked about how the swastika used to mean much more awesome things.
Another tech was watching the burn and starting joking, āWE HAVE WAYS OF MAKING YOU BEND.ā
Luckily when itās done the spirals mostly take over visuallyā¦ Mostly. The husband says it hits him as completely fixed. Iād hate to decide itās probably okay and have someone quietly feel awful around it.
@m_raynsford Your design is awesome. Thank you for sharing! And the Glowforge emblem is a very interesting possibility.

Bendy. Plywood.
One thing Iām noticing is that the plywood is fracturing along the little straight edges.
OMG how beautiful would it be to make this stuff bendy?

I wonder how this would mesh into the fractal puzzles?
3-dimensional fractal puzzles! Pieces only slot together if you have them bent juuuuust right.
ā¦I would go insane, haha.
If I am not mistakenā¦the reverse swastika is an ancient chinese figure.
And the regular swastika is a symbol for lightning/power in a few mid-west Native American tribes.
