Penny Flyer (NOT! for CO2 laser cutters!)

thingiverse

Update! Warning! Not for CO2 Laser cutters! The foam is made of a version of VINYL which is deadly to lasers. R.I.P. my first laser tube. ;-( A simple 9-inch flyer made out of craft foam and pennies in the ring for heft. Fast to cut, easy to assemble, and incredibly fun to play with. I have a video, but 3GP is not supported, sorry. Print Settings Printer: FSL Hobby 40w Laser Cutter Notes: !! Be sure to delete the ring of holes for the outside sheets !! Those holes are for the pennies between the sheets. Post-Printing Assembly: Minimum, cut one sheet with the holes, and two sheets without the holes. Use tacky-glue, or a glue stick for flexibility with the holes being between the solid sheets, of course. Be sure to glue the pennies to at least one of the solid sheets. I offset the cutouts so that all three colors would show. You can alter the design a bit by deleting every third wedge of cutouts, then assembling them with each color having their own wedge. How I Designed This Inspiration: They sell foam flyers at the store where I work. Frankly, I was not impressed with them for the price, so I decided to create my own version. This is the result. :-) Custom Section Customizing your flyers: You can cut out more solid sheets for extra stiffness. Colors and positioning are completely up to you. The number of pennies is up to you to choose, perhaps with dome trial and error. Maybe even heavier items like washers?
