re: Hexy Jigsaw Snowflake (Any one for Naughts and Crosses?).

True with conventional tools, unless you upsize to costly board/meter.

Unfortunatelly Steve, many of my puzzles are "cool" using the laser... however, parting with the shekels for a cutting laser is a major exercise unless you decide to sell them.... though a 3D printer is a cheaper option.

CNC's are getting more popular, but the size of the pieces and that RPM of the bit, makes a joke of our gun/projectile/missile laws here in Aussieland.  My puzzles rely on the 0.2mm kerf of the laser beam and not that  1/16"  1.5875mm dia. of a small roter cutting bit... would need redesign... easy, but if you have a laser, why?

While I don't openly sell my puzzles, I have been commissioned a few times by people/vendors to mass produce, to give out to their customers/clients.
As Pottz keeps reminding me, it's my NASA backing that stops me from turning down huge profits (have been offered "ridiculous amounts" several times and opted for cost)... of my many foibles, greed is at the bottom of the list... or I'm always too pissed to know betta.
