I recently made a butterfly nightlight by request. The customer liked the one I made, but really wanted a Monarch Butterfly.
So, take two.

That is beautiful! I love how you used dots for color areas on the butterfly instead of a full engrave

I think the dots are very effective for edge lit pieces, and it’s faster. I try to keep laser time between five and eight minutes per nightlight.
I calculated laser time into price per unit a few years ago when I was planning to make a business with the Glowforge. Life changes have prevented that for the foreseeable future.

I really like the way your night light turned out. Is that a wood trim? The dots are a unique touch that makes the butterfly wings stand out. Thank you for showing your work.

These are the lights that I use. Unfortunately, they only come in bright white.

Don’t they always? I was supposed to be a professor. Instead, I’m a professional sick person!
