I also added a cuts on the bottom so that the sign could stand in the LED light and not move to the sides. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695eee720180187cc51cb39f/14cb554e-fe38-4fa8-bafb-0e2208b1b530/tempImageg3R8vy.jpg Projects - Project 2: Acrylic LED Sign - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695eee720180187cc51cb39f/033c3fec-6f93-4811-8a32-50de21973b3c/tempImagenSsKxi.jpg Projects - Project 2: Acrylic LED Sign - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695eee720180187cc51cb39f/1906d794-61fd-45a2-b2b2-3f6f1db714e6/tempImageMCqt1T.jpg Projects - Project 2: Acrylic LED Sign - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695eee720180187cc51cb39f/caac7626-b3a3-4201-b89a-acb8872911ca/tempImageKWCVMT.jpg Projects - Project 2: Acrylic LED Sign - Make it stand out After our test cut was successful, I moved on to importing my design to CoreIDraw to be ready to send to the laser cutter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695eee720180187cc51cb39f/337d473e-3962-458a-ad07-f16a0ed99899/tempImagecUecqc.jpg Projects - Project 2: Acrylic LED Sign - Make it stand out Another source of error that I had after trying agin was that I didn’t measure the distance between my previous cut and the new cut which made the new design to overlap the last one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695eee720180187cc51cb39f/0049f44e-c203-4152-9812-f9713f0def9a/tempImageOjoung.jpg Projects - Project 2: Acrylic LED Sign - Make it stand out for my third attempt, I noticed that one of the stars got cut. This was not intentional at all, but I noticed that it would look very good if the stars were also vector cut. since I couldn’t decide if I wanted all the stars to be also vector cut for my final design, I decided to have some stars rastered and some vector cut. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695eee720180187cc51cb39f/3cdc61ac-7041-4a56-a57e-d0e9a259a26f/tempImagedwGKhM.jpg Projects - Project 2: Acrylic LED Sign - Make it stand out For the last touch ups for my design, I grabbed an X-Acto knife and used it to carefully push the stars out of the acrylic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695eee720180187cc51cb39f/4e6be6a0-3d9f-49dc-8ee6-7ec7a00089c9/tempImagefwHEQW.jpg Projects - Project 2: Acrylic LED Sign - Make it stand out Final design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695eee720180187cc51cb39f/91bd3cf6-aa86-48e3-b431-14cc12d837d7/tempImagekO2r42.jpg Projects - Project 2: Acrylic LED Sign - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.karentrivera.com/projects/project-3 monthly 0.5 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695eee720180187cc51cb39f/44c61dbc-3d74-4f20-adad-47893d3b86db/IMG_0051.jpg Projects - Project 3: 2D to 3D - Make it stand out I started experimenting with finger joints on February 3rd to see if I would consider putting them in my design even if that was not an option at first. I was very curious to see how finger joints worked. I spent an hour working on different finger joints to see if I could design them by myself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695eee720180187cc51cb39f/a6196e7e-ad73-4bd1-b2ad-33768d938f4a/tempImage2WZTNT.jpg Projects -
