mechanical iris laser cut

I’m still on a laser cutter learning curve. Not ready to do my own complex designs yet so am searching the web for interesting designs done by others.

I found a free, mechanical iris Creative Commons SVG design on this Maker Design Lab site and gave it a go. I have purchased a copy of Lightburn software.

Simple design
More artistic design

What have I learnt so far: That setting up with Lightburn and doing the cutting is straightforward. I'm working at the Adelaide Maker Space and they have a great setup there. Putting the pieces together after the cutting is fiddly but doable. A friend has been helping me with that (thanks Pat!).
