This is the file from usedbytes, "cleaned up" a bit in Illustrator to cut more efficiently on a Glowforge. I joined all of the objects' paths and color-coded them for a sensible cut order. I don't think there's a way to make anything default to score, so the text will have to be converted from cut to score in the Glowforge UI.
I found that a drinking straw works great as the stem and saves the trouble of having to obtain special aluminum tubes.
Updated 2017-10-09: Widened the base of the star a bit so it press fits into the tube.
