[Bill Porter] is a married guy now, as well as obviously his new wife, [Mara], is awesome. They put together one of the geekiest weddings that included custom-made side-lit LED centerpieces.
Instead of laser engraving the lots of plastic panels for every centerpiece, [Bill] tricked [Mara]’s silhouette Cameo home vinyl cutter – the exact same one they made their invitations with – into engraving acrylic panels. They’re constructed out of extremely thin plastic, however the truth that the couple were able to snap apart the engraved plasic after putting sheets though the maker is extremely excellent for something that’s normally utilized for scrapbooking.
As for the base of each centerpiece, [Bill] whipped up a few enclosures on his 3D printer as well as developed a few battery packs out of 18650 lithium ion cells. The nine LEDs in each base were leftovers from a previous job including LED strips, completely fit to run for a few hours in a reception hall.
It’s a fantastic develop for a terrific occasion, as well as we’re truly pleased with the plastic cutting capability of the Sihouette Cameo. extremely great work there.
