Summary

Mindbendy way to see our world's map.

Used various DXFs from the other projects on this site. Created puzzle cut outs and optimized curves to keep file size down.

  • fits on 600x400 sheet
  • separate layers for engraving and outlining the countries
  • engraving layer split into three colours to avoid excess travel

The example picture used the following passes:

  • latitude and longitude lines with defocussed cut
  • engrave passes at high speed, medium power, 0.08 stepover
  • medium speed, medium power cut to outline the countries
  • cut out the parts

Depending on your laser's bed you might need to support the material if you scale down the file to avoid pieces tipping up.
