The glowforge forums and my laser fractal puzzles have quite the history so this seems like the perfect place to tell you all that there are some new puzzles coming.
I’m going to run another Kickstarter campaign so if you’d like to get information as soon as it becomes available you should be able to follow me from my profile page
You were all very supportive last time which was amazing. If anyone can share the information onwards or suggest places I should be sharing that would also be great.
It’s going to be another set of four puzzles, this time with an additional colour. Obviously I’m doing it the right way round this time, kickstarter first, but if that goes well I’ll be releasing the files on my blog and in the forum here for you all to have a go.
Fun! I gave one of your puzzles as a gift and it was a big hit. I’ll happily share your kickstarter to my social channels as a thank you for your ongoing generosity!
It took a while to figure that one out too, you have to be logged in to Kickstarter so that your account can follow my account. It doesn’t actually matter that my profile is private (It mostly just shows which dubious campaigns I fell for)
I just went live on Kickstarter with my new fractal puzzles. It’s a small goal so the chances of funding are pretty good (1000% funded the first time round so hopefully this time it will be similar)
Files in due course obviously but please feel free to share the KS link in the meantime it’s much appreciated.
yep, deliberately low funding goal, I’m mostly using KS for the publicity. I only sold a dozen of the original puzzles in the 4 years before kickstarting 600 of them. Reach is everything.
Looks like another good set of puzzles.
Out of curiosity, what program do you use to generate your fractal drawings? I’ve dabbled with doing fractals in Inkscape, using the built in L-system renderer for mine.
Just sometimes I have issues with it getting things to line up. And I have not figured out a way to make rounded corners, so I get a bit of extra burn every time the laser has to momentarily halt and change directions.
I use inkscape too but I don’t even use the L-system. It’s all manual sadly and rounding off the corners took a long time comparatively. Given that it’s taken £11K on KS though it was well worth spending the time on it
