The first of the three projects that we were assigned to do is to make a notebook. I wanted to have a picture of the rapper Lil Uzi Vert on one side of it and a picture of my on the other side.
The next of the three projects was to engrave a metal water bottle that we were given by Mrs. Proctor. We had to size the illustrator file correctly and at the end we had to rotate it 270 degrees so that it would be in the right orientation on the water bottle. I decided to make my water bottle have lulu lemon logos and polo logos in a pattern where they go every other. But I messed it up and now I just have columns of each logo which is alright but I wish they were the way I imagined when I started making it.
While the Laser was engraving the water bottle I took a time lapse of the process on my phone.
The final project for the laser rotation was to use a pre made plan off of the thingverse website. I picked out a biplane cutout. I put the plan into illustrator and made all the lines .0001 red width to tell the laser to cut it out. Then I went and set it up and cut it out on the laser. It was kind of difficult to put together because of it being made of flimsy cardboard.
Overall these were three quality projects that I think really helped me learn some new things using the laser engraver. Now when I go to do final projects if I need to use the laser I will be much more confident and in turn will be able to make much cooler things.
