Dragonfly Wing Proof of Concept

Joined Mon Feb 01 2016I’ve been working on this design for some time while waiting for my Glowforge to arrive. It is one of three wings in a dragonfly design.
It was clear from the first few seconds that my first try was a charred mess, so I aborted and tweaked the design to better account for the kerf, but I think I overcompensated. I’m also not sure about this paper. It is a scrap of thick photopaper from the large format printer at work, and it appears to have a shiny lamination on one side that might not be the best laser fodder. Will try again this weekend.
UPDATE:
Almost there!
Just right.
A part of me likes the “almost there” version better.
