Slot together Chess Pieces

Post by woosleyk » Wed 22 Oct , 2008 16:26 pm

We are teaching the concept of slot together using chess pieces. It is a great way to make students work through the process and understand how to make the slots line up, etc. before going on to more difficult projects.

Some clear acrylic would make great looking chess pieces on the Laser 8)
Bear in mind that the laser has a small cutting width which you will need to offset when creating your designs (just like a tool offset)
