In my other work I designed and build a laser cutter. I needed something to test focus so I used the Motovun Jack svg from tiddlywiki.

I am sure that there will be more later.

Ged,

You designed and built a laser cutter ... tell us more!

I know that we have to keep a focus on TW here on the group, but I think we can drift into curiosity about what people in the community are are up to.

Of course, no obligation to share.... i'm just nosy

Alex

Hi Jed

This is terrific. If you're interested, I'd be delighted to have an image of wooden Jack for tiddlywiki.com to go along with the other versions we've got. We'd just need a clean photo on a white background.

Best wishes

Jeremy,

After getting the focus worked out we have had some much better results. Next week I will cut out another one that has better lines and isn't missing a tail and get Ben (the resident photography person) to get a good photo of it for tiddlywiki.com

I thihk it is healthy for both community members, tiddlywiki itself and the community as a whole to include divergent ideas.

After all the applications of tiddlywiki is not restricted.

Keeping such divergent convesations in its own thread and taking it out of the group if it is generating a lot of traffic would be wise.

Regards

I finally got the laser cutter focused and some other smaller problems sorted out. It still isn't perfect but the distortions aren't noticeable on Motovun Jack unless you look closely. And of course the day I finally get a good result with this Ben wasn't in, next time he is in I will hopefully have a better camera than my phone, and a better background too.

But until then here is a much better, and larger, cut out. The two from the original post are from chips that are about 4cm square. This one took up most of an A4 sheet of plywood.

Hi Jed

That's great, looks really good. I did a rough cutout of it below, but would want to clean it up a bit more before publication.

Many thanks

Jeremy
