Hot Air Balloon Name Sign

Create this hot air balloon inspired name sign by updating the first and middle name.

TIPS for achieving the same look:

I use score lines on the hot air balloon to create definition without having to cut separate pieces.

To achieve this, I suggest doing a few test pieces to get the right speed and power. Basically, you want to do a deep score. You want the laser to more than score the surface, but not actually cut through it. I also like to de-focus the laser so that the beam is a little wider. I highly recommend you test out your laser settings as every laser is different, however here are settings that work for me:

  • Glowforge: Speed 225 / Power 95 and manual focus height with .02” added.

  • Thunder 100W: Speed 30 / Power 40 and a z-offset -0.3"
