Made Better With a Glowforge

It’s been a crazy weekend. As much as I wanted to focus on exploring the Glowforge’s capabilities, I was also committed to finishing an e-NABLE build, an Ironman-themed device for a young man in Mexico.

Then the thought popped into my head — How can I use the Glowforge to make this better?

5 minutes of laser time later…


The artwork was a jpeg from the interwebs


The soft focus was caused by me taking the image with one hand while manipulating the hand to grip the plaque with the other. :wink:

Really nice job on the hand and plaque. I love seeing other Makers’ take on these.

Funny, I usually do Capt America ones :slight_smile:

Johann (6 years old) specifically asked for an Ironman hand. As you well know, we aim to please. :sunglasses: It was a good day.

Love it. Mind if I use it for mine? Maybe we can start a trend and all enablers will use them :slightly_smiling_face:

Wonderful! What a great idea! (I’ve been wondering what to use that little tag for).

Great. Probably engrave a “Made specially for X” on the back so they’ve got a little token too.
