OT: Putting The Laser To Work

A friend has a vacation club membership through Wyndham and they graciously gave us a week at a Wyndham property on East 45th in Manhattan where I will be staying while SWMBO has her surgery at HSS. I know that she likes Pinot Noir so I bought a well reviewed bottle, and made this gift box to put it in using the larger of the two lasers.

Came out pretty sweet, the flat front folds down to insert/remove the bottle.

    About 45 minutes, and then about 30 to assemble all the parts.

    I’m sure you can justify a reason to buy one for the lab. 😎

    Beautiful. Is the curved fine lattice-like part also done by the pew-pew laser?

    And, wishing SWMBO the best for her procedure.

    I feel like I can’t just keep up with the Joneses at this point.  I need to lap the competition.  So I’m looking at 3D metal printers.  Now… any ideas where to find one of those cheap?

    Thanks, and in the interest of full-disclosure I purchased the file - I am not a right brain dominant type person and could never design something like this myself. I’m more of a monkey buy file, monkey push button and make things type of person.

    I know lasers are capable of… laser-like precision, but that part of the box is impressive.
