In the 3D Lab, Marketing Specialist Wendy Hanzel wanted to make personalized gifts for an upcoming guidance counselors meeting.  We discovered that Amazon sells inexpensive night lights that can be cut and engraved with a laser engraver.  The multicolor lights come with thick cast acrylic plates that provide a white frosted image when lasered.  Wendy customized high school logos with Adobe Illustrator for and learned how to use the equipment to make the night lights herself.  Good job!

The LED night lights make beautiful, inexpensive gifts.  You can find them on Amazon here.  Better yet, if you want to learn how to make multilayered LED night lights from scratch, it’s a great way to learn 3D printing, laser cutting, and programming an Arduino.  Look into the Schantz Makerspace upcoming class here.  Sign-up soon as space is limited!
