I haven’t had a chance to work in the makerspace for this project yet, but I will update this page as I go! So far I just have my inkscape design for the piece, which total up to 9 layers so far! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My box will be 11.5″ tall, 8″ wide, and 2.5″ deep on the inside. This takes into account about 0.5 cm I want to put between each paper layer and enough room for the lighting in the back. I’m planning on using 1\/8″ birch wood, so I used a kerf of 0.0098 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have finally completed the box for this project. It took me about three tries and a whole lot of wood. My first attempt was with 1\/4″ wood (sold out of 1\/8″ and had to redo the box schematic) and resulted in 15 passes which still did not completely cut through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second attempt was with 1\/8″ wood, which the laser cutter had finished cutting, I realized the kerf was too large: the pieces did not fit together. Luckily, I had 30 minutes left in the maker space, so I bought another 24×36 inch piece of 1\/8″ birch wood and used a kerf of 0.003, and finally got the cuts that I wanted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
