I had the front doors of the laser off, which might be a bad idea. In this photo you see
the 'hatch' or top cover, and then two doors with key sockets on each side.
The two doors are actually one, but it is hinged in the middle so that …
I have a directoy named 'laser_box' with two files in it.
It is a parametric model for a live hinge. Specify a few parameters
in the OpenSCAD file and you get a live hinge that you can export to
a dxf, and then read into your laser software.
I wanted to make drawer dividers for my tool boxes, especially the out of control screwdriver
drawer. I did a little search, and decided that it was worth it to just
pay $3 for an SVG of drawer dividers from
Pacific Grove Designs on Etsy.
You can press the laser button on the control panel to turn the laser on
and then press the direction buttons. This lets you cut straight lines,
like when the laser doesn't want to cut for some reason, but it engraved
something that you like.
