Faneuil Hall Sliced!!

After finishing the previous building, i finally laser cut my faneuil hall after transferring it from sketchup, to gtimp, to roalnd cut studio. I made two files, one small, and one large. I hope to make a hollow one that will connect together, but this will most certaainly do for now!

Sketchup to Laser cut!!!

Finally got the knack for the file down, spaced each slice at about 1/12 of an inch apart. It came out pretty good for a test file considering i really had no clue as to what i was doing. For some reason, it took me forever to get it right but that's ok. I designed a very simplistic version of the Empire State Building.

Sketch-up to SVG

I have done a lot of work with Sketch-up, and i love designing the 3D models. What i have at my disposal but have done little with is the laser cutter. It has come to my attention though that through a plu-in called slice modeler, you can take a sketch-up model and transform it into a laser cut model doen in slices and then can be put/ glued together. This opens up an entire newe world to me, considering i use to work with open office when dealing with the laser cutter, and i truly hate that program, but hey, its all free right? Anyways, i plan on laser cutting the faneuil hall i have made and putting it together. That file would really bre something spectacular. I can't wait to get it right, although it would take a little bit of tweaking, i plan on getting it done right.
