Title: Laser Cut and Etch Counters
Post by: Yooper on November 11, 2015, 11:14:07 PM
I wrote up a tutorial on how to use Ponoko to laser cut and etch counters onto a variety of materials.

Ponoko - Inkscape Laser Tutorial (http://caseycalouette.com/laser-and-etch-counters-at-ponoko-beyond-print-and-play/)

That looks really cool! I would love to try it eventually but I think for now it's probably best if I stick with Brant's patented foam-counter solution (http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=6129.msg148716#msg148716).  8)

The foam counter solution is awesome. It's exactly what I did. The only thing I'll do differently next time is use a rotary cutter instead of a shearing cutter.

For price it's hard to beat the foamie-print method.
