Danger Zone Earrings: More SCP Warning Labels

More tinkering produced a full set of SCP warning labels in vector format suitable for laser cutting:

The faint blue corresponds to the LightBurn tool layer, because you’ll want to assign your own cutting parameters.

The circumscribing circle provides a convenient way to snap the pattern into something else, because the symbols in the middle are not necessarily centered around their geometric midpoint.

Suiting action to drawings:

SCP Earrings - black on yellow - cutting
SCP Earrings – black on yellow – cutting

The acrylic fire shows they’re called Danger Zone earrings for well and good reason!

Anyhow, weeding the black vinyl produces crisp results:

The fallout shelter symbol (top right) should have a circle around it, but that’s in the nature of fine tuning. It’s also not part of the SCP canon, but it kinda goes along with the radiation warning sign.

They’re cut from transparent amber non-edge-lit acrylic with black vinyl PSA patterns:

Still not enough to get me to go full-frontal Mr Clean.

The LightBurn SVG layout as a GitHub Gist:

Sorry, something went wrong. Reload?
Sorry, we cannot display this file.
Sorry, this file is invalid so it cannot be displayed.

I have no explanation for the different stroke widths, other than that SVG files seem to maintain a memory of every transformation applied to any object. LightBurn doesn’t use the stroke widths, so it should work out just fine.
