Snap Scenes Laser Cut Toy (available on Kickstarter)
Thanks for checking out my tutorial on this laser cut toy I'm launching on Kickstarter.
Snap Scenes Kickstarter Project (laser Cut Toy)
Snap Scenes is a new project that I'm launching on Kickstarter
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/637248760/snap-scenes
It's a small laser cut wood animal toy and Its made from 100% Baltic birch that I source locally.
The Scenes can be snapped out and set-up, can be painted, colored with marker or left in there natural wood form. Every Scene comes with characters, background scenes and a base to place them on.
Design
Snap Scenes placements are designed in Corel Draw then exported to the laser cutter.
Laser Cutting
3a) We mask off the Baltic Birch with vinyl cutter (Pre-mask) so it won't burn the surface as much.
3b) We export the Corel Draw image to the Epilog Helix Laser cutter, it is super easy to use it basically acts as a printer, You just adjust the speed and power settings and hit print.
3c) Remove the masking tape.
4c) If you don't have your own laser cutter try joining your local Makerspace, I work out of shop called Assentworks they have Laser cutters, 3d Printers and tons of other great equipment.
Set Up and Paint It.
Paint and set up your scene.
Filming
We filmed our Kickstarter stop motion video using a Green Screen and multiple walk sequence of a lion walking.
You can check out the video at www.kickstarter.com and look up Snap Scenes.
The walks sequence is made from 16 unique lasercut pieces, we took from a real walking animal, so it has an interesting look.
Please think about supporting our campaign we have some really great rewards starting at $5
