For scale pics really need to go next to the “blue thingy.” LOL

The more I thought about this today (which was waaaaaay more time than boss would have liked ) I thought of a great use for this…a business card holder for craft shows. I fricken love this design!!!

Glad it got you excited! Feel free to adapt as you see fit. Want a photo though!
p.s. put in some work time tomorrow, even though it will be Friday.

I’m “working” from home tomorrow! LOL I have to finish a design for my Free Design Friday…I missed last week because of work load.

arh2 · August 16, 2019, 1:50am

Waiting with baited breath to see what you come up with!

designvh619 · August 16, 2019, 1:51am

No pressure…sheesssssssh! LOL

You can always say your boss made you do actual work… and you couldn’t refuse, because you don’t want to run out of proofgrade.

designvh619 · August 16, 2019, 2:00am

LMAO! I think I already know what I am posting…it’s something everyone has seen.

I am also working on a massive design that at the moment has 75 pieces and takes (at this point) 8 boards to run. I am guessing when it’s finished it will be about 15 boards and over 100 pieces. I am still working out some major design dilemmas. When it is finished, I am going to put for Free Design Friday. Not sure how many people will want to run something that big, but I will offer it up none-the-less.

You’re very generous, and yes you need to be able to continue to buy a large amount of wood.

…unlike me who just needs some scraps!

Chocolate. Not a fan of fondant.

As in: the entire thing in chocolate, or so you can dedicate your mini Glowforge to print chocolate sheets to use on tempting things like this?

I was thinking a white, dark and milk chocolate treat. And if you’re really ambitious a clear sugar lid.

But now that you mention it, a 3D chocolate printer, assuming quality chocolate, would give me back two weekends every December. So that too.

arh2 · August 16, 2019, 6:53pm

You’d need a 3D chocolate printer to print chocolate flavored mini Glowforges.
Mouth watering here…

Thank you so much! I think I might a pin out of it!

davidgal2 · August 19, 2019, 9:07pm

Looks really cute.

arh2 · August 19, 2019, 9:35pm

So cute indeed - glad you made one!
