A clever interlinked rings puzzle for you. When it’s done it’s really small if you are using 1/8" material. Maybe too small? If you have 1/4" material it might be a little easier to solve.
Here’s the SVG if you want to try it:

So I’ve seen a few variations of a type of puzzle kicking around lately called lattice puzzles. One look at the design and I thought “I can laser that”. Rather than reinvent the wheel I figured I’d find out if anyone else had done it, and found a basic model on Thingiverse. I modified that model to have slightly rounded corners, it went perfectly.
The puzzle consists of 12 identical pieces, which is part of why I thought it was so clever.

This one’s tricky, if enough people ask I might post a solution.

Yup that’s why I named it that way. It’s not my original design, they called it something like six link interlocking puzzle.
