I made a SoT compass!

@Aprovoked-Mango I was thinking about putting some acrylic in it for a cover but was running out of ideas to do it in an elegant way :-)

@IOnEI-Falcon Thank you!

@IOnEI-Falcon I have been thinking about it for a bit so that is hard to measure but when it came to drawing/cutting/assembling, I spent intermittent time over last Saturday. (I have made other models before so am starting to get the hang of them now)

@ItsKhalidd I actually made Destiny ghosts in the past a bunch of Redditors liked them enough to buy them. I am always open to opportunities like that ;-)

@Frenzied-Ewoks Thanks! I was actually thinking of something more along this line ;-)

@Spent-D Thanks!

@KattTruewalker Thanks Katt!

@andyjpanda Nice job, your only missing the Gold parts ;-)

Wow, that just looks amazing, love your touch on the details! curious too see if you get too craft anything else!:)

@estizzeled Thank you! I am hoping to find some more iconic objects from the SoT universe to have a go at

@valkyr13x of course not! You would be most welcome :-)

@Clumsy-George once you learn the fundamentals, it is actually not too tricky. I used to use Coreldraw but now use a CAD program to draw the designs. Once that is done, the laser engraver is like a printer and I simply print to the laser. I do have to assign a power setting and speed to each line in the drawing (not as difficult as it sounds) and also decide whether I want the laser to cut or do a raster fill.

Does that all make sense?

@andyjpanda Does It work? Beautiful by the way.

One word - Awesome

@WaldoTehStoner the needle wiggles/rotates in a pleasing way, I toyed with the idea of putting a magnet in it somewhere but when I worked out what that would do I went back to the wiggly needle idea :-)

How much for one ?

@andyjpanda You used AutoCAD from AutoDesk? I got a student account there... Got all kind of software, which I'm using for 3D printing and design. I'm still on beginner lvl though.
