  1. A while back we went on a road trip ( IL <-> CA ) and took this picture out the front windshield.

    We also saw some "Speed limit enforced by aircraft" signs.

    Later when going through our photo's, this one was screaming for a #ufo over one of those signs.

    So I went and fired up #blender and started modeling a simple UFO and roadsign, then edited them into the picture.

    boxes.py has these photo frames you can generate, so that's what we used for #lasercutting a frame, and then a sheet of clear acrylic to use as the glass.

    I really like how these turned out!

    If you want one (print + frame), grab them here:

  2. Spent a little bit of time today commissioning a new fibre laser for my local maker space. #lasercutting #fibre #making

  3. And it's live! Generate your own customized vectors for a frame loom here:

  4. PR is up if any of y'all want to get weaving:
    github.com/florianfesti/boxes/

    Note it hasn't been merged yet, so until then you'll need to pull down my branch and run the thing locally.

  5. I finally parametrized my rotating-heddle frame loom on Thingiverse so that I could make it an arbitrary size. So now I have a mini bracelet loom :)

    I still need to clean up the code, and then I'll submit a PR to boxes.hackerspace-bamberg.de/

  6. Guten Morgen ☕ nur kurz... vor zwei Jahren etwa habe ich mir ein Lasergehäuse mit Abluftpumpe und Schlauch selbst gebaut - weil diese Dinger so teuflisch teuer sind. Die meiste Zeit hatte ich den Deckel unten und irgend welchen Kram oben drauf auf den Klappen abgelagert...
    Vorige Woche verstarb der Treiber für den y-Motor und ich musste feststellen, dass es die Platine nicht mehr als Ersatzteil gab. Ich fand nur noch Borken in Russland aber diese Teile sind unerreichbar. Glücklicherweise fand ich von einem ähnlichen Gerät über Kleinanzeigen eine Steuerplatine, die ich anpassen konnte... ein Versuch war es wert 😔

    Jetzt kommt aber der Knaller, warum die Platine wahrscheinlich gestorben ist. Seht euch mal das zweite Bild an....
    Das passiert, wenn so ein Laser zu lange in einem Gehäuse steckt und man den Deckel zulässt - ROST ! Dabei ist in meinem Cave 'furztrocken' 😳 #lasercutting

  7. Laser cutting season is here! I’ve started my annual tradition of cutting the 2026 @DublinMaker badges at @tog. #DublinMaker #LaserCutting #Making

  8. The #madenewmakerspace in #Omaha #nebraska is looking for instructors!

    We've set a goal to get at least 10 classes set up by the end of the year and I'm looking for instructors who would to share their experience with #maker topics like:
    #3dprinting #openCad #electronics #lasercutting #woodworking #photography #technology #crafts
    #textiles #lifehacks

    Classes could be free or may charge a nominal fee, which will split with the instructor. DM me here or contact [email protected]

  10. I need to cut a neat hole 0.22mm wide in the thin lid of a tin box. How best?
    I was thinking #Lasercutting if anybody in #tyneandwear has one.
    My fallback plan is a pin, hammer and wooden block.

  11. Recently, we helped out our neighbors from the Spectrum Maker Space. They had sourced a special rubber material to laser-cut a custom stamp, with the housing to be 3D printed on top of that.
    The result is really nice and we are thinking now to make also custom stamps with our own Logo.

  12. New Lightburn update out. Nothing exciting, mainly just some fixes. But one line caught my eye. 😆

  13. The project had been dormant for almost a year, but now I have finally gotten around to making an improved bellow for my portative organ.

  14. Le projet de rêve de notre client a pris vie ! Nous avons conçu un magnifique coffret à couteaux écologique, avec un intérieur en bambou et en liège, qui témoigne de notre savoir-faire en matière de conception et de fabrication 3D sur mesure. #cnc #lasercutting #artisanatnumerique #surmesure

  15. Just one of the many reasons why you should never leave a lasercutter unattended. If the air assist stops working during this job, the whole workpiece would be set on fire.

  17. More work from my Final Major Project at Arts University Plymouth. These mesmerising pieces are made up of meticulously inlaid veneers of wood that are inserted into laser engraved plywood.

    Each artwork was initially digitally drawn up by me over many many hours which then were transferred into a usable format to be laser engraved - which took another 5 and a half hours!

    The work is greatly inspired by computer scientist/mathematician Craig S Kaplan (@csk) and his generative zellij work. My work displays that the algorithmic potential of Islamic Geometric Patterns and the time-tested traditions of woodcrafts can belong together in an artistic context.
