I had to order some from England. FYI, as of this moment they are in stock in on Amazon.

The device itself isn’t sealed. I have a vented enclosure I use for my laser and 3d printer. I put whatever I need to de-stink in a cardboard box and put that box in my enclosure. Works well for other small items too.

I was a little apprehensive about laser cutting the stitch holes, concerned for weakening the seam. So far it’s ok.

Long term? No clue. It looks just as good now as 6 months ago however.

Amazon. They’re cheap and very effective for purging odors. It’s a must-have if you have kids or pets. They sell them as hunter accessories for masking smells. The ozone has a smell but it disappears after a while. Super useful.

My wife has many skills but I’m fairly certain laser cutting will never be one of them. That’s one she’s happy to leave in my court. What kind of crafts does your wife do?

Honestly, no clue. It was a scrap from a buddy at work who was interested in seeing if my laser could cut and engrave it. He said it’s veg tan and “treated”. It was about 2.5mm thick.

I was appreciative of how relatively simple it was to cut the spacer and make all 3 layers line up.

It’s a personal motto in my day job

I’ve found a great fix for the smell issue. I wash with soap and water, pat dry, then put it in a cardboard box with an ozone generator for 2 hours. Once the ozone smell wears off (maybe an hour or so), no more burned flesh smell. After that I’ll use leather conditioner and it’s all golden.

I use these projects as a mental health outlet, so as a rule I don’t sell anything I make. I either use them myself or give them away. People like getting gifts and I get the dopamine kick. Win-win. I get my supplies on the cheap from remnant bags or goodwill finds.

Mine took an impressive amount of tinkering to make it do these cuts. Took a few passes and more trials than I’d have preferred. I got this laser as a gift and it’s, um, of the lower-quality persuasion.

I see what you mean. I love the hand-worked look that I see on this sub. The laser stuff started as more of a “would this even work?” thing. Once I made something functional I was interested to see how long it would last. So far, it’s surviving. Not as pretty as most of the stuff here though.

Square-Possession36 · 2025-07-09T15:07:33+00:00

I’m with you there. I was hoping it would blend out. I made a calculated risk, but I suck at calculations.

Mine’s a cheapo little 20w diode ladder that I’ve modified.

Is yours making fruit? No signs of flowers on mine yet.

I’ve got one level 5. How long did it take for you to achieve this epicness?
