The hull with two Layers of Nylon, results in approx. 0.8mm thickness. The hull itseld is so stiff you could use as a racket. Cutout for the ventilation inlets worked as planned.

Cutting of the "vacer" logo. Pls note that you may get a _little_ bit of ashes on top when the first cut doesn't get through whereas on the bottom side there should only be hardly noticable traces of _smoke_ patterns but no ash deposits. The ash/smoke pattern on top of the material is due to a vent ...

Some laser cutter improvements. I should have done the "vacuum box" right at the beginning of this project (jacka_me (C))... drastically improves cutting results. Some settings that worked for my 15Watt laser on an eleks maker frame. The lattice metall avoids the building of ashes on the bottom side...
