LiPo batteries have been the standard type used by RC hobbyists for several years now. It's tough to beat the hat trick of low cost, light weight, and high discharge capability offered by LiPo chemistry. Every RC modeler I know has at least one LiPo in their shop. Most have dozens of them.

For all of their performance advantages, LiPo batteries also demand particular care and attention. An incorrect setting on your charger or a few too many amps of discharge might be all that it takes to upset a LiPo. Angry LiPo batteries can reveal themselves in unpredictable and fiery ways. While LiPo fires are relatively uncommon, they are a potential danger to consider.

Many modelers store their batteries in ammunition cans (with gaskets removed) to mitigate the risk of damage from a LiPo fire. To be clear, these metal boxes do not prevent or snuff out fires. They simply provide a way to contain a LiPo flare-up and avoid collateral damage. You can be sure that everything within the ammo can will be toasted. The goal here is to save everything outside the ammo can.

Get Organized

The primary challenge with using ammo cans to store and transport LiPo batteries is that the inside is a singular, undivided space. Simply placing a few batteries in there is an inefficient and disorganized use of the can's volume. It might also allow the batteries to rattle around and get dinged up.

Park Scale Models recently introduced a device that keeps batteries organized and secured within an ammo box. The Ammo Box Battery Caddy ($20) is a removable tray that fits inside of a standard .50-caliber ammo can and subdivides the space for battery storage. It can be configured a number of different ways to accommodate a wide range of battery sizes.

The caddy is constructed of 1/8"-thick 3-layer birch plywood. The laser-cut parts arrive as a kit that must be assembled. I recently built one of these battery caddies for myself. So I can give you an inside look at how the caddy goes together and how it functions.

Assembling the Battery Caddy

All of the parts are packaged as individual pieces that have already been separated from the parent sheet of plywood. The cutting on my kit was very clean, with only a few stray edges to clean up. My first step was to sand every part with 150 grit sandpaper. This was really just a cosmetic effort to remove scorch marks from the faces of each piece. I did not sand the edges.

The next thing I did was to stain all of the wood with an outdoor stain/sealant. I figured that this would help protect the raw plywood from all of the different conditions it will see during use. Olympic Elite stain was on the sale rack at my local Lowes, so that's what I used. The stain went on easily and I think it looks nice.

Once the stain dried, it was time to assemble the parts. Park Scale Models provides an assembly manual to illustrate the few necessary steps. There's really nothing to it. All of the interlocking pieces fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Nothing is identified by a part number. But the pieces are unique enough that it's pretty obvious where each goes.

Not all of the parts are meant to be glued into place. There are a number of removable dividers that are used to configure the size and quantity of compartments that you desire. You can have anywhere from 10 to 28 separate compartments.

For the parts that did require adhesive, I used carpenter's glue. It's easy to work with and creates very strong joints. All of the glued parts went together in only a few minutes. I then used clamps and rubber bands to keep everything in place while the glue dried.

Using the Battery Caddy

The first thing I did with the completed caddy was to verify that it actually fits into a .50-caliber ammo can. It does. Then, I began experimenting with dividers to sort out different ways to carry many of my most-used batteries. I was really surprised by how many batteries I could fit in the caddy without it looking jumbled...way more than I would ever carry for a day of flying. Placing the same number of batteries in the can without the caddy would have created a disorganized mess.

My smaller park-flyer batteries fit nicely in the littlest caddy compartments. I was also able to sort out a number of options for my often used 2200-3000mAh packs. The middle compartments worked great for my larger batteries.

Only two of my batteries didn't fit. It wasn't an issue of girth...they actually went into caddy compartments with room to spare. The problem was that these particular packs were slightly too tall. So, I wasn't able to close the lid of the ammo box. The caddy will accommodate batteries up to about 6.4" (163mm) long.

If you're now digging out a ruler to measure your favorite battery, be sure to factor in the power wires as well. Some batteries have wires that emerge perpendicular to the long side of the pack. Other wires are parallel to the long side and will demand more vertical space in the caddy.

Whenever you have a bunch of batteries in one spot, you can also have a tangle of power and balance leads to deal with. A particular fear I've always had when using ammo boxes is that I might accidentally pinch stray wires when closing the lid and create a short....and the very fire I'm hoping to prevent. The caddy offers a few strategies to combat this.

The most obvious tactic is to orient each battery in its compartment so that the wires extend towards the middle of the caddy rather than the borders. With many of my batteries, I found that I could place them wire-first into the compartment and not have to worry about wires at all. Another useful strategy is to leave one or two empty compartments. You can then place the power leads from the surrounding batteries in the blank space.

Closing the Lid

LiPo batteries require extra caution for use, storage, and transport. No matter how you manage your LiPo cells, make sure you are doing it safely. This caddy from Park Scale Models offers better organization for those who prefer to keep their batteries in ammunition cans. This makes the ammo can option both easier and safer to use.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I figured out the process how to import a .DXF file perfectly to scale into inkscape, then into Easel. You must start with a .DXF file with closed polylines or you will only be able to cut on path, not fill/pocket, or cut inside or out. Joining them in Inkscape will NOT work either.

With a good .DXF file, OPEN, do NOT import, the file in Inkscape. Set scale manually to 25.4 (just so happens to be how many millimeters in an inch ). Check the scale using the measuring tool.

Draw a rectangle around your geometry at a known size. Write down that size.
Import into Easel after saving as a .SVG file (I use optimized)!

Scale in easel using the number you wrote down.

Edit: you may have to mess with the scale( 25.4 pictured) to get it correct in Inkscape. But once you have it correct in Inkscape, it will be correct when you import it into easel.

PERFECTLY TO SCALE!!! And made of one line shapes. When you trace an image of lines, it gives you a trace of the inside of the line and the outside of the line, and the center path of the line.

Hope this helps people with their design work!!!

This part requires the most gluing effort. You should dry fit these parts first to make sure you know how they line up. Once you start gluing you want to get all of the pieces together before the glue dries. Make sure the part that attaches to the body is tight against the body and the place where the "nut" goes in is lined up.

The order of the pieces is:

In center: longest piece - put "teeth" through center holes on top of body of ukulele.

next on both sides: long piece without teeth

next on both sides: long piece with teeth

next on both sides: long piece without teeth

next on both sides: short piece without teeth

last on both sides: long piece with teeth

Make sure the neck is as flat as possible.

Attach the nut in groove at the top. I used clamps here to hold the neck together as it dried. Tape would also work.

Spread glue on the top of the neck and attach the little "ramp" pieces so that the neck slopes down from the body to the neck. You should line these pieces up with the longer neck pieces.

Once the glue has dried, use a palm sander to smooth out the "ramp" from the nut down to the ukulele body. You want to make this smooth for the fret board to sit on.

I also sanded the head stock end at an angle to fit snuggly up against the "nut". The palm sander worked for this, but a sanding belt would have worked better to keep it even. There is more about this in the next step.

Laser Cut Posable Figure: 3 Steps (with Pictures)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Introduction: Laser Cut Posable Figure

When making my Laser Cut Advent Calendar series I wanted to make a link to another interest of mine: making dolls and posable figures.

I wanted to keep the part count down and go for a simple attachment of the movable limbs. This simple approach means a limited posability and sometimes you need to tweek the rubber bands and even take out a limb en put it back in to get it in the desired position, but it works.

At first, I only made straight arms, but I added some "dancing" arms, inspired by Trip, one of my fellow Artist in Residence at the time (July 2013). Most of the time, he was working with music in his headphones and often even dancing while designing. I kept the legs straight, because I wanted it to be able to stand upright by itself.

Step 1: Materials and Tools:

The rubber bands used are two times 1" x 1/16".

The design is made for 3 mm sheet material, taking in account the thickness can vary + or - 15%. I made the design in Inkscape. You can find did in pdf and svg format in the zip-file.

Obviously you will need access to a laser cutter or an online laser cutting service. I used a 120W Epilog laser cutter in the workshop at Pier 9, were the Instructables HQ is. On this machine, for 3mm acrylic the cutting speed was set to 50% and the power to 70%.

Step 2: Attaching the Legs

Each joint consists of a small loop of rubber band, running on a laser cut partial "ring" on the body. Make the two bottom loops from one rubber band pulled through the orifice, from each side and keeping it in place by pulling it over the notch, again on both sides. Slide each leg under a loop. Make sure the loops run in the cut outs, to keep things in place.

Step 3: And the Arms...

For the arms we use the same principle. But to get the effect of a small rubber band loop on a ring (the sholder) we need to twist the rubber band on itself several times. Again it is held in place by hooking it on a notch, only from one side now. We slide the chosen arms (straight or "dancing") under the loops. Again, make sure the loops run in the cut outs, to keep things in place. The figure is ready to pose ;-)

Introduction: Chamfered Laser Cut Bread Knife

In this instructable, we teach you how to make your very own serrated plastic bread knife with a laser cutter! You might ask, why bother? Well, in the process of developing some stuff here at Fremont Laser and Design, we figured out that we can - and that's reason enough for us. We think the jigging process is super cool and a great example of using a powerful tool in an unconventional way.

With that said, use your new powers for good, not evil! We are not liable for the actions of an individual or a group of individuals; this instructable was developed by trained professionals and is intended as a proof of concept. It is recommended to use proper safety equipment while operating a laser cutter and follow all provided instruction and safety manuals.

Step 1: Prep and Safety

!! WAIT !!

This project involves a Class 1 - 4 Laser depending on what you use and can be harmful or dangerous unless properly operated by a trained individual. Paired with the use of hand tools or optional power tools; you should take all safety precautions advised by the tools' manuals and wear proper safety equipment.

To add on, you're making a knife! Be careful, we all have accidents but we advise you to wear light gloves when handling the materials and blades as they can have many sharp pointy bits.

To prepare, find the provided materials in the next step, maybe do a readthrough beforehand, get some safety glasses and gloves, find a workspace, and maybe get some snacks...

Step 2: Materials and Tools

For this project you will need the following materials and tools. Some may not be pictured so be sure to read through!

a laser cutter!

5.3mm birch plywood (~1/4")

scrap plywood

2.8mm (~1/8") acrylic

13mm (~1/2") cedar or laser cutter friendly wood variety (softwood)

9.8mm (~3/8") wood dowel

shop cloth or rag

isopropyl alcohol

blue painter's tape

gloves

safety glasses

magnets!

files/ angle grinder/ sander/ sandpaper (wood removal tools for shaping handle)

wood glue

acrylic cement

spray poly. clear coat (satin gloss was our preference)

Step 3: Making the Jig

1. Use the magnets or tape to hold the plywood to the bed and cut the attached file from the 1/4" nominal birch plywood.

2. Assemble all parts as shown in the photos above.

There are three files in different formats of the same plans and there is a small square in each one that should measure 1" x 1" to use as a calibration measurement. Scale the file until the square is that dimension. The red lines indicate cut lines and the black (or white depending on software) indicate markings or optional etchings.

Step 4: Cutting the Blade

1. Open the Blade and Handle file (one of three), delete the handle piece and additional circle for now and set up the blade file. We cut four blanks so we could test out different serration patterns.

2. Use the magnets or tape to hold the acrylic to the bed and cut the attached file from the 1/8" nominal acrylic sheet.

3. Next, clear the bed and insert your piece of scrap plywood, cut a straight line in that to create a relative zero point, make sure it is also fixed to the bed using magnets and stays in the same position.

4. Now drop the bed down until you can fit the jig you built in. Butt the back edge of the jig up against the now zero point of the scrap piece. Make sure not to move the scrap while you affix the jig with magnets as well.

5. Now you can put a blank in the jig (use magnets, tape, or dowels to hold it in) and move the laser beam +1.5mm on the Y axis to put the laser beam on the right path.

6. Align the Z-axis how you see fit after aligning it to the appropriate distance first (we brought the bed up an additional 1mm for serrated blades).

7. Choose one of the provided Blade Patterns and let it rip! Due to the depth and angular nature of the cuts, the lens you use may not be built to cut this in one pass. You'll see a photo of a blade we cut in the jig that didn't quite work the first time for example. Don't lose hope!

There are three files in different formats of the same plans and there is a small square in each one that should measure 1" x 1" to use as a calibration measurement. Scale the file until the square is that dimension. The red lines indicate cut lines and the black (or white depending on software) indicate markings or optional etchings.

Step 5: Cutting the Handle

1. Grab your 1/2" handle material, we like cedar here in the PNW and cut your handle now from the Blade and Handle file you used before!

2. This cut might also take a few passes depending on the laser you use.

There are three files in different formats of the same plans and there is a small square in each one that should measure 1" x 1" to use as a calibration measurement. Scale the file until the square is that dimension. The red lines indicate cut lines and the black (or white depending on software) indicate markings or optional etchings.

Step 6: Assembly and Finishing

Align and glue the handle and dowel into place with wood glue or acrylic cement, we used both for added security.

File, grind, and sand your handle to it's finished shape.

Tape off the blade with blue tape (careful holding it!).

Spray your clear coat on to the handle to seal the wood and dowels. Make sure to spray in a well ventilated area and use multiple coats so that you properly seal the object.

Pull of the tape and wipe down the finished product with alcohol and a cloth to sterilize and clean any dust left on it.

Step 7: Snack Time

Enjoy! You're not only way smarter now, you can split a cookie in half and give some to your friend (or eat it all)!

Please do be careful though; it's still not only a very sharp knife, it's made of acrylic. Make sure your blade doesn't crack or splinter while using it, most acrylic is food safe but not safe to ingest.

Introduction: Modern LED Desk Lamp...Powered by 5V USB

This was an entirely new project for me. I've always been fascinated with edge-lit acrylic and I figured it would make for a nice desk lamp. The sanded edges of the acrylic pieces send off a diffused glow that works great for a desk or reading lamp. The LED strip inside is cheap and safe since there is no wiring involved.

As with all power tool Instructables, please use proper PPE and follow all safety protocols for each machine.

This Instructable is aimed to provide everything you need to make one for yourself. But if you have any questions, send them my way.

Step 1: Gather Materials and Tools

Tools needed:

Mitre Saw

3/4" and 1 3/4" hole saw and forstner drill bit (Drill press or hand drill powered)

Belt sander or palm sander

Materials needed:

Most of these materials can be sourced from scrap with the exception of the LED strip

1. Wood: Any wood from aspen to zebra can be used for this lamp. You need about a board foot for a decent sized lamp, so even if you have to buy something, it isn't that expensive. I chose some shorts of walnut that were planned to 1/2".

2. Acrylic: I got my acrylic from a local plastics manufacturer. They end up with plenty of offcuts and would likely be willing to part with it. If not, you can pick up acrylic sheet at most hardware stores. I used 1/4" thick acrylic for this lamp. But anywhere from 1/8" to 1" would work.

3. LED Strip: I used a 5v LED strip with a pre-wired USB end. 50cm will give you plenty of light to work with. I ordered several dozen since I am making these with my students and it really drove the price down. You can expect to pay less than $5 for this. Mine were sourced from Aliexpress. LED Strips On Aliexpress.com

4. Dowel: 3/4" dowel works best for wrapping the LED strip around. You will be able to find this at any hardware store.

5. Glue: Gorilla glue is great for glueing dissimilar materials like wood and plastic.

6. Finish: Wipe-on Polyurethane from Minwax is always my choice of finish.

Step 2: Cut to Size

The wood and the acrylic have to be the exact same size. This is especially true if you don't have a belt sander to true them up later on.

I like the look of a square lamp. So all these pieces, both acrylic and walnut, were cut to 5" x 5".

Step 3: Drill Center Cavity

This is where the LED strip will sit and the light will come from. It isn't super important to be dead accurate with your cuts since it will be hidden on the inside, but it is a good idea to make some centre holes to line everything up.

I used a 1 3/4" hole saw to cut through the wood and acrylic. Acrylic is a tough material to work with and I made sure to take every safety precaution when drilling these pieces. They can catch and spin if not clamped down tight.

The centre dowel sits in a 3/4" hole on the bottom piece.

Step 4: Attach LED Strip

The LED strip is attached to the 3/4" dowel with the adhesive backing. Wrap it around and secure it. It doesn't matter what the orientation of the bulbs are because the glow of the acrylic will diffuse the glow.

There is a little slit cut into the bottom piece of acrylic to allow the cord to exit the lamp. I used a bandsaw to make this cut, but a jigsaw, handsaw, or hacksaw will work.

Step 5: Glue and Clamp

Once all your pieces are cut and the LED strip is in place, it is time to glue.

Gorilla Glue will work best for this because you are joining plastic to wood. Be aware that Gorilla Glue expands greatly and will leak out the sides if you use too much.

I orientated the boards so that the end grain was alternating. Clamp in place and allow to set.

Step 6: Sand the Sides

After the glue has set, scrape off excess glue and sand to finish.

Using the belt sander speeds up the process of finishing the sides, but a palm sander will suffice.

Be cautious of burning and melting the acrylic on the belt sander. Take small passes and allow the plastic to cool.

I used grits from 80-220 on the palm sander to get a great finish on the wood and acrylic.

Step 7: Finish

Minwax wipe-on poly gives a great finish to the wood and acrylic. Super easy to apply. Just wipe on, wipe off, Daniel san.

Let dry and then it's time to enjoy your lamp!

Step 8: Make Different Sizes

This project can be customized to so many different dimensions and styles. It's up to you and your creativity to stack different sizes of wood and plastic and create something unique.

The next stage of this project is to cut the pieces out a laser cutter.

This post resulted from Rebecca of Hugs are Fun asking if a thin piece of acrylic could be bent for a bracelet. Challenge taken, and the answer is yes, it definitely works!

My first thought was to try to boil the plastic to heating, like they do to make toothbrush bracelets. This seemed potentially messy (or scalding) so when I saw that Harbor Freight had low level heat guns for $15, I picked one up. (Any excuse to get more tools, right?)

I happen to have a never used bracelet mandrel in the back of my supply closet, when I had big dreams of making wire wrapped cuffs. I dusted that baby off and it was perfect for this project. The biggest problem is that this thing weighs a ton. So it has to be a stationary mandrel - it's not something I could flip around too easily and it might disfigure the warm acrylic if I laid it directly on it.
The materials:
For the test, I used 1/8th (3mm) acrylic. We had some extra leftover 3mm florescent acrylics we used for Ingress badges, and I figured if were were making cuffs, let's go 80's all the way! I cut the blanks using the leather cuff designs from Week 3. I made them 6.25 inches long, since it seemed all metal cuff blanks (that you can buy to stamp on) are 6 inches long.
The process:
We weren't sure how drippy or gooey the acrylic would get, and how hard it would be to handle, so we laid the mandrel flat, propped up on a couple potholders. We set the acrylic perpendicular to the mandrel, so it could drape around it as it melted.

This setup was very cumbersome, and took both Ryan and I to make it work. The acrylic didn't stay in place on the mandrel (it slipped off because of the taper), so it had to be held. While Ryan held it, I had the heat gun. I started at the low level, and slowly it heated up. Because we had to continually hold it (and we like our fingers), the heat wasn't even. It created some lumpy / flat sides, and we had to flip the entire mandrel in order to curve the open part correctly, which required more heating.

Second go round, I set the mandrel upright, and it stayed nicely on the sturdy base. I heated the blank laid flat on a piece of parchment paper, sweeping back and forth slowly to make it even. When it was pliable, we picked up the whole parchment paper and wrapped the bracelet around the upright mandrel. It worked well, but the ends did lose some heat. They weren't pliable enough to wrap around and make the perfect cuff oval. I didn't think to reheat the acrylic when I got a little resistance, but instead pushed harder, and part of the intricate swirl design cracked. Lesson learned.

The third bracelet, the triple strand, was heated up slowly on parchment (even slower than the swirly one, because the thin middle strand heated up faster than the outside ones and started to warp. Keep that in mind for future designs!) When pliable, we shaped in around the mandrel. Instead of pushing the ends down, Ryan held the bracelet and I gave each one a shot of heat and pressed. The resulting cuff was amazingly perfect.
Tips and Lessons learned:
- Go longer than 6.25 inches. I think I would try 6.5 next time. The cuff opening was a little too big for me.

- It didn't smell awful, but it is warm plastic - work in a ventilated area.

- Pliable plastic is hot, but not instant burn hot (says the girl who started molding it with her bare hands, whoops). That said, pot holders and work gloves did come in handy.

- You can leave fingerprints in pliable plastic. That's a novel way to sign your work 🙂

- Make sure your designs have even line thickness, or take special care not to melt thin areas before the thick ones are fully heated.

- The cheapie heat gun worked great, no need for anything fancy.

- The acrylic is flexible, but not overly so. I was able to touch the open ends of a cuff together without cracking or stress. Anything beyond that broke the swirly cuff. Something to take into account with designs as well.

I'd love to hear what you think! Is there a market for these?

Laser-Cut Business Cards

I've really been saturating the blog with ear-bud wrap posts lately. This should be the last one for a while. I decided to order some laser-cut copies of the earbud-wrap business card. They were a bit expensive, but I've been wanting to laser-cut something for some time. I went with 2-color acrylic, and I think they turned out really well.

Introduction: Laser Cut Puzzle Collection

When I saw the puzzles challenge open on Instructables I knew I wanted to enter something so I went to search my blog to find something suitable. The trouble is I found lots and lots of items and because I own a laser cutter the production technique is remarkably similar for each one. Cut it on the laser and assemble it, possibly using some glue, so I figured I would present a collection of lasercut puzzles and provide the files, tips and techniques for each one. Hopefully you'll find this useful and inspiring (enough to vote for me anyway :) )

I feel like I have a bit of a head start on this matter, my uncle has been making me puzzles since I was four. He's very handy with a scroll saw and anything that can be done with a scroll saw can be easily laser cut. I've also been laser cutting things for five years now. My blog is just about to hit 1000 laser cut items so here are some of the best. I've also taken this opportunity to draw and cut new items just for this instructable.

2 People Made This Project!

Step 1: Jigsaw Puzzles

The jigsaw puzzle is a classic staple of puzzling, the first jigsaw was cut around 1760 (by hand obviously) and they usually consist of a picture cut into small interlocking pieces. The laser is very good for making jigsaws because the cut width, or kerf, is only 0.1mm wide. This means the parts fit together snugly straight out of the machine.

There are a few ways to get the images onto a wooden cut jigsaw puzzles.

You can transfer colour images onto the surface wood using a technique like this one, or the laser cutter is capable of engraving a greyscale image onto the surface of the material. Once the image is drawn then it is a simple matter to cut the jigsaw into tight pieces. I took a sample section of jigsaw puzzle from wikimedia, this was already in a suitable vector format, ripe for cutting.

I can't believe I hadn't made a jigsaw on my laser before this challenge, the whole thing only took a few minutes to prepare and it can be infinitely customisable with whatever image you want on your puzzle. I might have to do more of these soon.

Step 2: Tray Puzzles

Tray puzzles are exactly what they sound like. You get a tray and some pieces and the task is to put all the pieces back into the tray.

Puzzle trays for children usually involve multiple holes that match the shapes being put into them. I drew this Pokemon tray puzzle using the silhouettes from Pokemon Go. Inkscape has a function that allows you to easily trace images, they just needed a bit of cleaning up and they were ready to cut. I put the names onto the board using Hershey Text which is quick to cut and looks good. (I realise my tray is wrongly labelled but I corrected it in the file I'm sharing here)

More complicated tray puzzles usually involve you putting a number of shapes into a single hole and trying to find a way to get them all to fit. This pentomino puzzle was one of the first I ever remember receiving. There are 12 different ways to assemble 5 cubes, these form the basic pentominoes. In this version of the puzzle the shapes are themed like the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac.

Step 3: Celtic Knot Tray Puzzle

Celtic Knots use interlacing patterns to describe a knotwork shape. The thread goes over and under itself a within a single knot, lines within the drawing show which thread is on top and cutting some of these lines turn the knotwork into a puzzle. The whole thing can be put into a tray to suggest the overall shape of the knot but the internal route will always remain a question.

The knot work was drawn with the aid of Black Oak Games knotwork dice, these clever die allow you to create fancy knotworks by placing die down and turning them round until you're happy with the shape. I used a digital version I created previously. Once the knot work was drawn I was able to break it down into the constituent parts. In the construction image you can see I curved the ends of puzzle pieces, this creates a closed area for each puzzle piece which can then be coloured to make it much easier to show which part goes where. This would be useful if you wanted to produce a solution drawing. Before cutting I remove all the curved lines.

I like this puzzle because it is simple to produce and the knot dice allow you to make infinite combinations of parts.

Step 4: Fractal Puzzles

These fractal puzzles are a slightly different form of tray puzzle. Fractals are a special mathematical set that exhibit a repeating pattern. In these cases they are made up from basic patterns that are repeated over and over again. The whole pattern is essentially just a single line from A to B. These patterns can be broken up into smaller sections that form the pieces of a tray puzzle. The pieces all look remarkably similar and I while I was subdividing the pattern I took a lot of pleasure ensuring that now two pieces were exactly alike, this makes it even harder to assemble. There are three patterns included in that one file.

The Hilbert Curve is a very simple square pattern, the Peano-Gosper Curve creates a more interesting triangular shape and finally the Dragon Curve has lots of nicely rounded sections.

The file is drawn in such a way that the laser will trace from A to B in a single cut and then go back and subdivide the pattern, this makes it really fun to watch while cutting.

Step 5: Burr Puzzles

A burr puzzle is made with a series of interlocking pieces, the parts are usually notched sticks which are not something you would immediately associate with the laser cutter because you have to make the notches in two different axis and the laser only cuts vertically. When you have access to a slightly more powerful laser these kinds of puzzles start to become possible. I have an 80W machine and it will cut material 12mm thick, this is large enough to create a stick and because the sticks are square once they have been cut in one axis you can rotate the stick 90 degrees and cut the second axis.

The first Burr shown here consists of 12 identical parts each with a notch in the middle on the second axis. I chose to do the single notch on the second pass because the stick will move slightly as you rotate it. When you cut the stick you need to cut the profile but you also need to clear out to the rest of the hole so you can put it back in sideways. The file attached here will look odd because it is for a single piece and there are two parts to the drawing, one for each pass.

There is a subsection of Burr puzzles that make up the Chuck Family. I've always liked this puzzle. In it's simplest form it's incredibly common, the kind that you would find in Christmas crackers but you can elongate some of the pieces and start to make longer and bigger versions of the chuck. Then you can form pyramids and cubes and all sorts of shapes. It's a bit like a construction set as long as you have enough of the right pieces (it's a good job I can laser cut exactly what I need). Only the 'key' pieces need to be cut in two axis and this file has been optimised for material usage.

Step 6: Burr Box Puzzles

Burr Puzzles can also be made from other interlocking parts. In these two examples sheet materials are cut to appropriate shapes and they get woven together to create a finished puzzle.

The Criss Cross Burr Cube was made from 5mm clear perspex and the burr tube puzzle was made from 6mm ply. These designs can be scaled to any size material you happen to have because all the slots and dimensions will all scale appropriately. You probably want to scale these precisely for you material, the perspex puzzle here was made a little bit loose and the whole thing has a tendency to fall to pieces in your hand once you take the first piece out.

Step 7: Sliding Block Puzzle

The sliding block puzzle was invented in the 1880s with the fifteen puzzle which simply had the numbers 1-15 on the blocks. My homage to this form of puzzle is the eight puzzle which is remarkably similar in concept but only uses 8 blocks which is a much more sensible prototype. You could also put any kind of picture you want on the top of the blocks.

Each block is made up of 3 different layers, the middle layer is shifted right and up slightly to form an overlapping section with the block next to it. Where the tiles overlap the surfaces have been engraved, this reduces the thickness of the material and makes it slide easily in the gaps. The edge of the puzzle also have 3 layers which is staggered in a similar fashion. The edge is backed like the other tray puzzles and this stops the pieces from falling out of the middle. The edge is a single solid piece, because of this the last row of blocks has to be glued into place inside the puzzle so be careful not to spread the glue outside the block or it won't slide correctly.

Because this puzzle is just a series of blocks it could be expanded to any dimension and size you requires. I made this from 3mm poplar ply wood which makes it very easy to have a deep engrave.

Step 8: Puzzle Boxes

This byte puzzle box made for an altogether different kind of slide puzzle. The notches on the top of the box are free to slide up or down and will lock or unlock the box. You simply need to get all eight switches into the right up/down positions before you can shift the lid sideways and remove it. There are 256 possible combinations (2^8) which in computing terminology is a byte, hence the name. The box is made from sturdy 6mm plywood so it can withstand a bit of forcing but it was skinned in 0.8mm ply to hide the construction techniques (and the combination).

Like most combination locks it can be opened with a bit of force applied in the right direction, some of the pins are stickier than others so you know which side is locked and which is unlocked and by pulling the lid to one side while you do this you can make some pins sticky. With a bit of practice you can find all eight pin positions in a matter of minutes. I however cheated and marked the side of the lid in very faint pencil.

Step 9: The Cryptex

I really want to make this laser cut cryptex that I found on instructables with my own improvement but I ran out of time, it's still a really cool item though so even though this page is redundant I wanted to leave it here and who knows next time you check out this instructable I may well have populated this step with my own reworking of it.

Step 10: Disentanglement Puzzles

There is a whole category of puzzles devoted to getting things untangled from each other, these usually involve holes and string and hoops and beads. The trick is that the hoop is never really on the string in the first place and by carefully moving things around you can free the various parts required to solve the puzzle. These puzzles were made specifically for this instructable competition and were inspired by some of the other puzzles being entered.

The first puzzle is a classic, again something you would find in Christmas crackers to pass away the hours waiting for the turkey to go down. The two pieces are entangled by their strings and form complete loops which can't be separated. Except they don't really, the string can be fed through the hole and over the disk. When you pull it back through the hole the two parts are separated (or double looped if you went the wrong way). The string is captured in the material by using 3 layers of wood and sandwiching it together over a knot.

Puzzle 2, the hoop is on one loop of the string and the goal is to move it over to the other side. It's a simple puzzle and if you just start winding the hoop along the string in the right direction it quickly becomes apparent how to make it jump from one side to the next.

Puzzle 3 requires you to free the hoop from the bottom of the tower. Note how the hoop isn't actually entangled in the string. You'll also note that the bead is able to fit through the hoop and the disks can fit through the tower. With a little bit of fiddling the hoop can be freed easily.

Step 11: Cube Puzzles

I first cut these cube puzzles 4.5 years ago, they were some of the earliest things on my blog. In fact it was easier for me to download the files from my own site that it was for me to find them on my hard drive. I took the opportunity to freshen up the images and to recut them in 6mm ply.

Many laser cut boxes are made using finger joints in a very similar manor to this. I think it's something that is often overlooked, if the designer were to change the size of some joints over others you could end up with a slight puzzle box but more importantly something that couldn't be assembled wrongly. This could be very useful if you were producing kits with multiple sides that look the same but are subtly different.

Step 12: Assembly Puzzles

This puzzle is one of my favourites. Not all puzzles are flat but this one forms a very sculptural shape. This puzzle looks great on display and it's not surprising because it has artistic heritage. MC Escher drew one in his lithograph ' Gravitation'. The ends of each star were given tight fitting finger joints so the whole puzzle can hold together without any glue.

The puzzle is in assembling it correctly. There are 12 identical parts which all click together. This is one puzzle where it's best to get hands on and just figure out where each bit goes. The trick is getting the twelfth piece into the mix. The solution is to build the model at two separate parts. Five pieces click together to form one corner which should be built around a sixth piece. Once the corner is built you can clip the sixth piece into the others on all 5 of it's points. Repeat that with the rest of the puzzle pieces and then while holding the two completed corners bring the two halves together, interlocking the remaining arms as you do so. Slow and steady gets them together (I also sometimes wrap an elastic band around the newly created corners so I don't have to squeeze it tight for too long).

I have made small 100mm versions and large 600mm versions, I even made a version which included all the lizards from gravitation held loosely into each point, it is a very pleasing shape and build.

Step 13: The Laser Collection

Hopefully that has inspired you to make some puzzles. Christmas is not a million miles away and I'm sure many of these things would make suitable gifts and/or items for craft faires. Please feel free to use the files however you desire. I have really enjoyed making the extra puzzles to go into this instructable and I've been blogging about all of these items over on my blog. If you have a bit of free time, why not swing by and see what else I've made.

We have a be nice policy.
Please be positive and constructive.

When I saw the puzzles challenge open on Instructables I knew I wanted to enter something so I went to search my blog to find something suitable. The trouble is I found lots and lots of items and because I own a laser cutter the production technique is remarkably similar for each one.

Introduction: The Wooden Bobcat Toy

I was going through Instuctables and saw some amazing stuff. I just wanted to do something that was just as amazing. Hopefully I have a file you can use. I used my Epilog laser engraver (Epilog Mini 12x24 45 watt). This project took 12 hours to design, 60 minutes to cut out, and 30 minutes to glue together. This project is geared towards someone with access to a laser engraver or CNC machine.

Supplies:

1) 2 sheets of 12x24x1/8" of press board
2) 1/4" wood dowel 18"

Tools:

1) Super Glue
2) Razor Knife
3) Laser Engraver (ideal)
4) Corel Draw x4 (ideal)

avoid designs that require glue. It's messy, mistakes can happen, and there's no "undo" for customers. Friction-fit parts are one option, but with the slight variability in material thicknesses, we prefer nuts and screws, tabs and slots. T-slots have become iconic of laser-cut design, for good reason.

(the teeming void): Fabricated Growth Forms (Processing to Ponoko)

(the teeming void): Fabricated Growth Forms (Processing to Ponoko)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Like many others playing with generative techniques, I'm fascinated by the potential of digital fabrication. Getting beyond the screen and into the world of objects is a significant move for a field that has, until the last few years, reveled in its own immateriality. There's a lot to think about in this material turn, but that's for another post. Here, a quick report on my first experiment with generative fabrication.

I don't have a laser cutter handy at my workplace (though as William Turkel writes there are lots of good reasons why I should) so I decided to check out Ponoko; I wanted to see what was involved in generating, uploading and fabbing a small project. I started with the Processing sketch from Limits to Growth , and tweaked it to turn out much smaller forms (a few hundred nodes, rather than tens of thousands). I used the built-in PDF export, then opened the PDFs in Illustrator. (Illustrator is the only commercial/proprietary software step in this process, so I'd be interested to hear of any alternatives). The forms are drawn as linked line segments of varying stroke widths. Ponoko needs an EPS with only the outside edge of this form, so I used Illustrator to merge it into a composite path, then set the stroke colour and width as instructed (0,0,255 and 0.001mm).

The upload to Ponoko took a few tries - I was getting some strange errors as their system failed to "see" the cutting paths on the template - but after some swift and cheerful technical assistance it all worked. Pricing was also trial and error; the first design I uploaded was more complex than these, and of course these branching forms pack a long cutting path into a small surface area. I simplified the design, packed four forms onto a sheet, and opted for 4mm ply rather than acrylic. Final cost including (expensive) shipping to Australia was about $A60 (currently around $US40). Not what I'd call cheap, but not prohibitive either. There are intricate discussions of the economics of the business - shipping, exchange rates, local vs global, etc - on the Ponoko forums.

Eighteen days later, they arrived. Novelty counts for a lot here, but still, I'm totally charmed by these objects. A few surprises, but all good: they are smaller and finer than I imagined, and they smell very slightly of charred wood (excellent!). The cut edges are dark with a nice smooth, burnished surface, and the ply surface is clean. The scale and intricacy of the things seems to entice people to touch and handle them. I find them far more satisfying than the (much more detailed) laser prints I made with the same system.

Immediately it's clear how the fabbing process, and the materials, can reach back up through the production chain and influence the design and the generative system. One flaw in the design is a product of how I'm drawing the shapes: there are small rounded "shoulders" at the joints between line segments, caused by the overlap between one rounded line cap and the next segment - this is obvious in the physical forms. Better to draw the segments as tapered rectangles, and avoid the shoulders. Also, the branching topology is structurally risky; how to introduce more joins without breaking the generative model? This interplay, between computational process, manufacturing process, material and form, seems really promising. Ponoko seems to be an excellent, affordable way to try this out, and the built-in fab-on-demand shopfront is great, if you want to sell your wares. But it's still, ironically, working with a mass-production paradigm of one design, n copies. With hooks for a more dynamic, generative front end, it could get really interesting: designers like the wonderful Nervous System are doing this already. More documentation of the growth forms over on Flickr.

Endurance is going to tell you about advantages of laser engraving. Laser engraving advantages and horizons, as we presume, are limitless.

Today, nearly everybody has a printer at home. A laser engraver might become as popular and in-demand a device as a printer. Now 3D-printers become more and more popular and people like to improve and upgrade them. That is why Endurance have created diode lasers attachments for 3D-printers.

Using it, you can customize and embellish almost any item you wish. You can engrave on a great many of various materials: leather, plastics, plywood, acrylic, fabric, felt, balsa, wood, stone, glass hardboard and cardboard. That's really fantastic!

The lasers made by Endurance are able not only to engrave but also to cut materials. You can cut figurines and words with our lasers. Using our laser engraver you can make little souvenirs and presents for your people, colleagues, business partners.

You can engrave and cut toys for your kids.

Endurance is making laser engraving and cutting technology easy and available for use. Engraving and cutting with Endurance is as easy as printing of a text or picture file.

Endurance keeps on working at engraving and cutting technology simplification to make it even more user-friendly. We work at improving plug-ins, manuals, make video lessons and we share all our knowledge and experience on youtube channels: @georgefomichev
A few orders completed will pay off the purchase of our laser engraver.
Thus, two hours of work with an Endurance L-Cheapo laser helped the company fulfill a commercial job, which earned us 50-100 USD., i.e. 5-10% of the laser engraver price.

A portable laser engraver Endurance DIY will not just pay off but will also save you the trouble of looking for an agency or workshop to execute your order, will save the money to be paid for its delivery.

The laser engraving technology is really very simple and does not require any special knowledge, experience or skills. Anybody can master it. Endurance aim is to make engraving fuss-free.

A portable laser engraver Endurance DIY is also able to engrave on rubber, which opens new options in making stamps and seals. We suppose that this solution will sell readily in the market.

The low price of the powerful Endurance laser engravers is unbeatable in the market today.
According to our estimation, the laser engraving market will amount up to 18-20 billion dollars. That makes our confidence even stronger that our product has a high value.
By now we have sold more than 200 engravers based on L-Cheapo lasers.
In the first quarter of 2016 we plan to concentrate, mainly, on developing the technology of engraving on aluminum and cuprum. By the second quarter we expect to run the production line for a full group of lasers: 2.1W., 3.5W, 5.6W, 8W, 10W, and assembling of engraving machines 10*10 cm (4-4″) - 40*40cm (16-16″) in size to meet 90% of the market demands.

We are making the laser engraving and cutting technology more user-available and friendly!

What is Laser cutting?

Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut materials, and is typically used for industrial manufacturing applications, but is also starting to be used by schools, small businesses, and hobbyists. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser, by computer, at the material to be cut. The material then either melts, burns, vaporizes away, or is blown away by a jet of gas, leaving an edge with a high-quality surface finish.

The thickness of the materials we can cut vary according to its density, the more density they have the thinner they should be but regularly we can easily up to 1/2″ of acrylic, wood, MDF etc, for a complete list of materials that can be laser cut please click here

What is a living hinge?
From the wikipedia,

A living hinge is a thin flexible hinge (flexure bearing) made from the same material as the two rigid pieces it connects, rather than cloth, leather, or some other flexible substance. It is typically thinned or cut to allow the rigid pieces to bend along the line of the hinge.

Living hinge is used quite often in the wood laser cutting project where you need to create a bendable edge such as the note book cover.

Most makers have also managed to push the boundaries by applying it on the acrylic or Valchromat which give a very interesting result.

If you wish to download some of the living hinge template for your upcoming project, here are some of the sites that you can explore.
