My First Laser Cut Building


Recommended Posts

Not quite a success, I scaled 2 of the walls wrong and broke another figuring that out, but...

I drew it, cut it, and assembled it in about 2 hours.  So that's kind of cool. Back to the drawing program... Lightburn in this case.

1/16th inch MDF cut on a 5 Watt diode laser.

Getting closer to functional laser cut terrain for Team Yankee.

These building wraps on USAF recruiting offices are getting more and more awesome....

The top two buildings have roofs that slide off like lids.  The windows are not scaled correctly for 1:100, which they should be.  30mm = 3 M @ 1:100(I think)

The A-10s are a happy accident when I cut a test building out of a misprint of some A-10s in formation. It got me thinking about printing a building on the pieces that wraps as a single image.

Single sheet of 12in x 12in x 2mm (It is what it is...) MDF. 2 200mmx100mmx50mm buildings. About 75 minutes to cut. Most of that time is the image, which can be optimized or turned into some sort of line/fill graphic.

Image from some random image of a real building from Google. All put together in Lightburn. Burned on an Atomstack A10 pro.
