Laser Cutter/ EggBot Mini-Me

thingiverse

The directions for this project were to make a replica of ourselves using the laser cutter and eggbot. The body was to be made out of acrylic while the head had to be a creation from the eggbot. Being familiar with Illustrator, it was a quick process to make a dress, arm and feet design. I even added an 'm', some hands and the hem of the dress to be raster cut. To make the sketch that would go on the head of my person, I used Illustrator and then transferred it into the program Inkscape which already had an eggbot template created. After printing them out on the respective machines, I glued them together and had my very own mini-me. Instructions To make the body: -Use 9mm acrylic (do two passes) -vector: 8 speed 100 power 5000 frequency -raster: 100 speed 50 power To make the head: After using program of choice, transfer design to Inkscape and print Be sure to set up height and, if there are any filled in areas, number of steps correctly *once both are printed, glue together with hot glue
