Mandala Business Card Holder

Interesting use of the SVG file. Looks like you used a “score” and an “etch” for the many inner filled areas instead of a simple cut. I was wondering how PG acrylic did with my original mandala’s fine detail—but I’m not going to learn that from your project. What you did would be a great way to make a waterproof mandala coaster.

Looks good! :sunglasses:

I can not figure out how to save this file… If I right click and save I can open in Inkscape but then I have to trace bitmap and it doesn’t come out right. Any ideas?

Would you happen to be using Edge for a browser? If so, that is your problem, it won’t let you save the SVG file. You need to use a different browser.

Nevermind! Read comments and opened on Chrome!

Thank you! There are tons of things on here, it’s overwhelming at first. We’ve had our glowforge for a little over a month now. Finally had the chance to go back through the Free Laser Designs again! So much fun!

into a napkin holder!

Did you ever make one? Curious if you made it from wood or acrylic

I never did! But if I had it would have been wood. I have a strong preference for wood over acrylic for most things.

How did you make this mandala business card holder? Is it all from scratch or did you use a piece of software to get the kerfs and what not?

All from scratch. :slight_smile:

I gave it a try on acrylic. Not sure why it missed a couple dots on top left. image
