I was stumbling around, what to do on the easter holidays. So i decide to cut something. First of all i only want to cut the shape of a bunny. But this seems boring. So it came to my mind to engrave it with an awesome skeleton. The result looks great.

Choose Wood

You have the freedom to choose every type of wood. If you are unfamiliar with cutting different Materials, look at my channel (Link in my Profile). I explain everthing which you have to know about Laserworks. It is easy understandable (German) and if you just imitate my action with the program it would be a lot easier to cut the SCARY SKELETON BUNNY.

For this project i used plywood.

Its All About Design

After i draw the shape of the bunny as a vector, i imported a bunny skeleton picture to the background. Afterwards i draw vectorpaths for every bone in the skeleton. I attech the result of my work as a Adobe Illustrator file.

Export the Bitmaps

If you are finised with your preparation in Adobe Illustrator, export it to a high resolution (300ppi) bitmaps, just to ensure a good graving quality of the skeleton.

Make Your Project Ready for Cutting

I cut the skeleton grave with 350mm/s engraving speed and 30% Laserpower. Works great and i have a smooth engraving. Just make sure to set the intervall in engraving parameter short enough to have a good graving quality. (0.08mm works great. 0.1mm is still okay). If you dont understand the intervall parameter look at my Youtube-Channel for further information. The shape was cut with 7mm/s and 70% Laserpower. (Do not overpower your Laser) In my case 70% is the maximum Power with 17mA. Depending on the material (or woodtype) you can use these parameters as a starting point and vary it. I attach the file for you.
