The Element Stones

So I made this as little decoration for the top of my PC and they give a little place to stash small items where people wont think to look.

Supplies

3.8 mm plywood

Laser cutter

Bees Wax

sand paper 400G

CA glue

Download the Files

The files are design to work on a k40 laser system with a bed size of 300mm by 200mm

Cutting

I used K40 Whisperer to print these files. In the advanced settings combine the engraving and cutting tasks

The setting for the engraving should set at 300mm/s and the cutting at 10mm/s and the laser power was set to 90%.

Glueing

Use the CA glue to stick the pieces together

If you wan to use these as secret boxes then do not glue the top on.

A Quick Rub

The stones need a quick going over with sand paper to remove any soot/charing left over from the laser cutter and then a quick rub down with some wax to protect the wood and give them a little shine.

I hope this instructable helps you create your own stones. I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
