The New Hotness

Confronted with a nice metal eyeglass case that had lost its original liner, I traced the outline on paper and scanned it:

Unlike the plastic Zenni cases, this one has nice straight edges, so:

• Eyeball a LightBurn rectangle over the traced image
• Round the corners to suit
• Shrink it by a few millimeters to make it fit inside

Then:

• Add a perimeter line offset by the 6 mm required to cover the sides
• Draw a dart in each corner to allow for bending the foam
• Set the perimeter priority to 1 so it cuts last
• Put the original outline to a tool layer to remind me how to do this the next time around

Which looks like this:

Then Fire The Laser into a sheet of EVA foam:

Stuff it into the case, do another one in brown, and the result looks kinda like it should:

That was easy …
