<p>A lasercut Kansas City sign in the style of the sign on top of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Auto_Building">Western Auto Building</a>. I used 3 mm (1/8") baltic birch plywood and 3 mm red and white acrylic.</p> <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Glue the letters and arrow pieces to the sign. I used a gel style super glue, which gives me a little time to position the pieces.</strong></p> <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/1d/5d/6c/ba/25/sign2.jpg"/></p> <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Glue the supports to the back of the sign. I used wood glue. You can print the glue guide to ensure that the supports are aligned properly.</strong></p> How I Designed This =================== <p class="detail-caption"><strong>I referenced various photos of the Western Auto sign when creating the vector file in Inkscape.</strong></p> <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/0b/c3/d8/7b/c0/f360_glue_guide.png"/></p> <p class="detail-caption"><strong>The glue guide was designed in Autodesk Fusion 360.</strong></p> Category: Buildings & Structures
