Acrylic Penbox
Cut with a Laser

Arrange your pens in an acrylic pen box

First graders will love this colorful pen holder. We have worked with acrylic remnants in different colors. But also in alder or poplar plywood, this useful organizer will look good on any desk.

Preparation

Required material

3 mm acrylic (a perfect way for using material remnants)

Trotec laser used

Speedy 300
60 watts

Open the "acrylic-penbox" file and send it to the laser. You can start cutting the acrylic immediately. The laser parameters depend on the machine used and the available laser power; they may therefore vary.
