Wider font/lines

Wider font/lines…
I have received a mini order of 3 boxes for a card club and was given free rein to design the box. As usual, I used LB exclusively for the task, I was not patient enough to find a suitable template in boxes.py, which I otherwise consider a fantastic “accessory” for LightBurn :wink:
The design itself is characterized by the purpose of course, and the specified measurements must be adhered to. But by making a logo for the 3 card friends, I thought about a post here in the forum recently, regarding thicker lines for a similar project. So I started playing with my settings until I found something that suited me.
The font/logo is made with 0.2mm offset and 8mm +focus, I used 13% max power/8.75 min power and 200mm/s in speed. The “prototype” is approved and now I am making 3 pieces of the same kind. Design time was about 2-3 hours, (my first draft wasn’t good enough).
Assembly time and finishing with leader grease takes about half an hour per piece.
As always, I have had a lot of fun with this little project.

Looks really nice

Very nice.

I’ll be upfront about this: I’m stealing your hinge design for future projects. :sunglasses:

You are so welcome :wink:
If it is not for the sake of decoration, they can be made significantly shorter.
They are very simple but effective, here is no.2 in the series with a little modiferd shaft.
… I fear that in the long version the thin axle will break with a little rough handling, they are only 3mm. But I have decided that if they break, I just cut off the excess material and glue an end disc on.

… Is there really someone who wants the drawing, so just let me know.
