We made a wooden ping pong table with Bob from I Like to Make Stuff () and had to make a really cool leather net using lasers and 3D printing to go along with it!

We started with the leather. We were also using a laser in one of our projects for the first time and learned a lot about both. After a lot of experiments (read: trial and error) we settled on a crisscrossing design for the leather net. We cut and engraved it in 7 different setups on the Glowforge. We used tape to help w/ these setups and keep everything spaced evenly. Once we were done with the laser cutting it was time for another first! Hand stitching leather. Also super satisfying. Throughout the leatherworking we were working on our clamps. We had modeled the clamps before we went up to see Bob and thought that making them would be a cakewalk, especially when we found out that he had the MOARstruder (which honestly was amazing), but of course we ran into complications. After remodeling almost everything and a lot of fiddling it functioned great. We didn’t finish or paint anything because the black PLA with the super thick layer lines actually looked pretty nice. We also really liked the brass accents we used for the thumb nuts (and also the heat set threaded brass insert, even though you can’t see it much).
