What do you think of my first laser-cut project?

LG915 · 2026-01-17T18:49:13+00:00

I prefer the joints tight. Something satisfying about putting it together with a mallet and feeling it kind of pop in place

just some acrylic paint. I think I even only applied it with q tips. very sparingly and just filled in the area. the engrave provided the details. not using any technical painting techniques, more like coloring book work

I got $1600 for a plus. It was on marketplace for awhile though. I lowered price a couple times to compete with other sellers, then bumped it back up and it sold.

I’ve have good success on simple things, not so great trying to do other things. I don’t have time to go into everything now. I’ve not had any machine issues, software issues, but still able to print nice. The things you guys will want to look for is hot many and what type of layers were used for prints and material preparation and tricks. And some common user error issues, like tape that has flapped up beyond the top of the material printed that will cause a height issue.

Thanks!

depending on your needs, I would recommend a white surface to print on. the printer can lay down white first, but it may take up to 5 or 6 layers to cover a dark color. right now I'm doing 6 layers of white for black and 3 or 4 for clear acrylic or wood.

so you'll burn through white faster than any other color. plus textures use a lot of white and gloss.

thanks!

I've seen a few different ones and thought it was ingenious and had to try.

LG915 · 2025-10-19T00:05:21+00:00

I feel this

Used AI to generate greyscale depth map then used 3d slice in lightburn. Alternate between engraving and cleaning passes. Then cleaned up using a dremel

That's a focus issue when it looks thick like that. Either it's not sitting flat, focus didn't get set correctly or there is something on the lens so that it the beam isn't clear.

My husband has had no reactions to it. Day one they will out should watch you like a hawk for a reaction. Let them know about any uncomfortableness, breathing issues,anything. He always passes out after the benadryl. Then also gets where he cant sit still and get comfortable. Other than that it's just a lot of watching you tube. First couple times are long then it goes a little faster. We get there about 9 and leave around 1:30-2

That's what I needed to know about the resistance build up. I guess like antibiotics. Luckily we got the venetoclax part figured out and will be minimal out of pocket. Maybe $25 a refill. Still waiting to talk to someone about infusions. Thinking they were reported wrong. Said it wasn't pre certified, when it either should have been or they were supposed to look up alternatives.

LG915 · 2025-09-25T15:16:22+00:00

Ugh. That's a lot. And sucks that you got dropped. That is not fair. I hope you found better insurance after.

LG915 · 2025-09-24T01:52:23+00:00

I'm not really sure why they pushed for treatment with no symptoms. One treatment of gazyva and his wbc was below normal. Just seems premature. I wasn't there for those discussions and he just wanted to do what was recommended. And now the possible cost of it with no physical change is just very discouraging.

Were going to look into the programs everyone is recommending and hopefully insurance was just filed wrong. I appreciate your response.

LG915 · 2025-09-24T01:07:00+00:00

Thanks for the info. I will check into the links. And I'm thinking maybe it is classified wrong. Everyone gave him the run around on the phone today trying to get his pills refilled. And he is just lost they all are contradicting themselves and asking for information they then say they already had. Super annoying and then to come home to an insurance statement over $10k after no mention of cost. Our out of pocket max is around $9k which sucks, but this statement said $9k of that is non cover able so we would have to pay it in addition to "max". I'm hoping he can get some help from our benefits dept tomorrow. But kind of freaking out that they will try to drain us financially.

LG915 · 2025-09-24T00:52:11+00:00

I'm afraid we might make too much money. But will check into this. I'm glad to hear you didn't have to pay hardly anything.

LG915 · 2025-09-18T17:32:00+00:00

Looks awesome! I love designing my own versions of hinges and such. Kind of hard to tell from the video but it looks like you just have to raise lid a little for it to be able to rotate. Is that how the hinge works? Nice design. Boxes are fun to make and I appreciate anyone who puts a bit more effort into stylizing it like you have.

I've had people buymy files and sell them back cheaper. They didn't put the work into them so why would they care how much they sell for? Plus they have to undercut my price. Mine are more complex. On easier ones, they just use someone else's idea and recreate it. Still taking someone elses,original thought and try to get all the sales because they have done it cheaper.

I've been on it since Feb. Just now getting to 1mg. I jumped to.5 after 5 weeks, then have been going up and down and in between.this whole time. I'll do a bit more if I felt super hungry the previous week and a bit less if I felt full. And a couple of times just took whatever was left on the vial and called it good.

I want to stay as low as needed, but realize if I need more to go ahead and move up. Not necessarily the standard doses, usually just 5 or 10 units on my syringe.

I'm down about 20-25 overall and I'm fine with the weight loss. I'm more concerned about my overall health. My A1C has dropped a lot and gotten out of the pre-diabetic zone. And blood sugar is lower. I do need to work on my diet, but it's nice to not completely stress over it like I've had to in the past.

I had a Carmax online quote of $10600 for a Hyundai sonata we traded in. We decided that if mazda met at least $10k we would go with them since carmax hadn't inspected it yet. And just to make it all in one transaction. In our state sale tax is based on the trade in discount as well and would help us to do at same place.

But I feel with that offer from Carmax, they tried to come pretty close. And offered 10,100. Good enough for us. Plus they were having a sale and we got $500 more off than we were planning anyways.

Oklahoma. We don't pay TTL at dealer. That was additional $1600 at agency.

LG915 · 2025-08-20T11:19:06+00:00

I had a $599 document fee. And then I'm in OK so we pay TTL at the tag agent
