Step1: About Design

I created the Design with Adobe Illustrator to have more possibilities editing the text like letter spacing.

As I still don’t own the risers fot the m1 i used some small plywood pieces under the feets of the machine to have a bit more height to engrave the 18mm wood block. 

Make sure when doing the same to use Mode: Baseplate removed

Use auto-measure feature to get better results. 

If you don’t want to create string art, remove all the engraving points to just use the writing.

Step3: Create String Art

Strinart is easy and hearts are the mostly the first project to try out. So heres a little how-to for beginners:

  1. Hammer Nails inside the wood (a bit less than half the nail height into it)
  2. Tie a knot a round a nail
  3. connect next nails with you yarn, you can do this straight to next one or by making zig zag. But it's easier and quicker by just going around all nails
  4. If you like the amount of layers you made, go all the way back to the nail you started
  5. Again tie a knot but this time with the strand thats leftover from the beginning.

Thats it!

As always I hope you liked my Idea and have fun to create it on your own! ~Anzy
