Here are some images of my lantern project. I still plan to add a frame around the edge, as light is currently shining all around to the sides of the piece because of the uncovered acrylic. My question is weather I should re-cut the top layer of wood. The engravings I made were not deep…
Layers Project – Andrew Roush
Aside from a couple flaws due to cutting warped stock, I’m happy with how this turned out! It is derived from a model in Solidworks of a combat robot I’m working on, however it has been majorly simplified and run through countless other softwares. Though I had some plans to use other materials aside from…
Lantern Project – Andrew Roush
This lantern was quite an experiment. Between trying to shine light through an engraving and rastering images over kerf bends, it was never going to be perfect. The light really doesn’t come through the wood at all, only through the bending, so I left the bottom off for more light and better access. One of…

When I was younger I went to a Girl Scout camp every summer. On the last day, we would trade pins, and everyone got to make their own. For this project, I thought it would be fun to make a tradable pin like the ones I used to wish I could make. My camp name…

Lantern Project For my Lanterns Project I decided to make a night mountain scape out of laser cut clear acrylic panes and a wooden laser cut kerf bent box. I also designed and 3d printed a base to mount the acrylic panes and house the led light strips I soldered together. The lantern is powered…
Final Projects – Sage Ugras
The first project that we did in class was making drawings in Inkscape and cutting them on the laser cutter. I chose to do (from left to right) one of the robed figures from Inside Job with writing instead of shadows, Travel Hooty from The Owl House, and a code-generated design. The second project was…
Lantern Project WIP
So far this is my progress on the lantern project! Since the last post, I have decided to do five panels. I added one more design and took away the strange leaves from the last one haha. This week I was able to finish laser-cutting everything. I decided to switch from wood to black acrylic…

I decided to make a monopoly token for my sister with her initials. I loved playing monopoly as a kid and choosing our tokens was one of the most important parts.
Altered Toys Project
For this project I chose to create lego bricks with the added alteration of objects inside the legos. these legos act as a symbol for the building blocks that make up me, pulling inspiration from things that I have done and care about. I created multiple designs and sizes for the pieces along with original…
Layers Project
for this project I chose to create a multi-layered clock with working movement and fake gears to create the aesthetic of an older open face clock. the final project came out great and is currently hanging in my room at school. the only problem with the final design that I did not consider is that…
Lantern Project
For this project I completed a candle holder that projects trees and hexagons onto the wall as well as illuminating the lantern itself. This project had many blocking points that I had to overcome, the laser cutter being incorrectly setups costed me a day of cutting, having wood that was too thick forced me to…
Altered Toy Design – Fidget Keychain
There is a 3D printed baring that was printed to fit. However it did not go to plan. The baring was to big to fit in the device so I had to sand down the key chain part to fit the baring in snugly so that it could also spin.
Lantern Project
As described in my Lantern Design post my lantern is a cardboard box that I cut using the smaller laser cutter and finger joints. I then glued some purple paper to the inside of the panel containing the design cutout so that the light would have a purple glow because the light I used to…
Lantern Final
I’m pretty happy with how my lantern turned out! The edges need a little refining, but I plan to use opaque hot glue and sandpaper on it when I get home. Otherwise, I like how it looks!

I finished designing my gearbox and will be printing it sometime this week along with the dancer model shown in the previous post. The gearbox is shown below, and the close up photo shows where the dancer connects to thee spinning platform. The circular holes in the housing are where 3d printed bearings will be….
Lantern Project WIP – Harris Brancazio
So far I have had good success with my lanterns project, I began by making a small test kerf bent box, it worked great and I didn’t have to alter my tolerances at all. I then made a few small acrylic test circles to test the settings for cutting and engraving. I then cut out…
Lantern WIP
I was able to get my pieces cut for this piece, but one piece couldn’t be cut fully. I like the way it all turned out! The LEDs I bought have the option to have a battery pack or be plugged into a socket, though, and the hole I have cut out on the bottom…
