Laser Cut

Ponoko really is quick! To be more precise: the German branch called Formulor. It just took 3 days from order till delivery. Nice!

These I have thrown away, but I kept some of the hexagonal ones for now. They look nice. I also kept some of the larger cut-out parts, just in case I should need some plastic parts later.

The burnt-wood smell. Ahhh! I have a sudden craving for smoked fish.

The laser cut acrylic enclosure.

Seems like the laser focus is not set to the middle of the work piece. The Rayleigh-Length of the focus is pretty large (shallow focusing). Otherwise the curvature of the edges would be intolerably big.

I couldn't get M4x12 screws, so I grudgingly bought overpriced M4x10 ones and was lucky. The screws barely captured the thread, but it seems to work and not much weight is to be held.
