An 8-page mini-zine by Amanda Wyatt Visconti (v1, 9/9/2024; CC BY-NC).

“Lasercutting! Cheatsheet mini-zine for a Very Specific use case” takes you through the steps of designing and lasercutting an acrylic oval with frosted text, using the Scholars’ Lab’s Makerspace and its lasercutter “Vader”. Thanks to Ammon Shepherd, who gave me a training refresh on the lasercutter; I took these notes built on my memory of his training.

Read the zine online

The zine is downloadable and printable (scale: 96%) from this link, but below are the zine’s pages in order, in case you prefer to read online. The PDF is a standard one-sheet minizine format, so it’s difficult to read online without rotating and understanding how folding will impact page order—below is easiest unless you’re going to print the zine out and fold it before reading.
