Information
I picked up some wooden bookmarks from AliExpress and loved them so much that I wanted to make more—but instead of reordering, I decided to just make my own! I designed a custom jig (a positioning guide that holds each piece perfectly in place) and 3D printed it to work with my laser cutter.
Once I had the fixture ready, I created a matching bookmark design file that fits perfectly in the jig. Now I can laser cut as many bookmarks as I want without the wait time or shipping costs from AliExpress. The jig makes the whole process super consistent—each bookmark comes out identical, and I don't have to worry about alignment or repositioning between cuts. It's so satisfying to turn a product I liked into something I can manufacture myself whenever I need more!

If you want to print the Jig, I suggest using PLA and printing using a 0.6mm nozzle. I printed on my X1C, but it should print well enough on any printer.
If you don't need the Jig, then just cut out as many bookmarks as you like. All the wood you can handle as it were.
