Laser cut boat meeples
I play a lot of board games, and while many of them come with an abundance of high quality parts, every once in a while I want something a bit better.
Today, I found myself in need of some boat tokens, and so I had some time in between classes, and decide to make some.
I started with some 6.35 mm acrylic.
Loaded it, and my design into my trusty epilog laser.
And started it cutting. After about 30 minutes, I had this.
Now that was great, but I still needed pieces for the other players. When I finished, I ended up with an entire armada.
I did learn something rather interesting. Not all of the colors of acrylic cut the same, even when on the same settings. I don't know of this is just an issue with this particular supplier, or if something else is going on, but I intend to experiment more, and will post my results.
Interesting, i want a laser like that!!!
They are a lot of fun to play with. You should look and see if you have a maker space near you. If you do, they often have lasers like this.
