Here's one of "Frankie", who has that 532nm glow!

I had to add another pic of Frank; this time, glowing with some 589nm sunshine!

I put this guy in because I just think he's cool, even though he hasn't had any photonic "enhancements" yet.

Very nice. ^

Now someone needs to do a red wavelength one.

 

[ProtoformX]

All of them are very cool!

These are from last night. Since these pictures were taken I have beveled back the inside edges to get a crisper outline. Couldn't get anything noticeable with a diffraction mirror so this is pure 6 line argon.

My pumpkin:


The wife's:



DANGER!

Those look familiar.:thinking: One of my neighbors bought the same book. The "spooky" one is one of the carvings they used. Looks good with the 488 lighting them up.

Wow very cool idea I wish I had a pumpkin and the tools I love art! :/

 

[NO4H99]

You don't really need any tools. I just made do with a pocket knife and some linoleum cutters that I borrowed from a friend.

 

[SerpantSlayer]

That sounds hard with a pocket knife! I know there are special saw tools you can buy

 

[crazyspaz]

Or, you could buy/make a PunkinBot. I don't even...just wat...why would someone spend time developing this....

 

[SerpantSlayer]

Thats a lot of money put into carving pumpkins... doesnt that defeat the purpose!

 

[crazyspaz]

Purpose? What purpose? It's a pumpkin CNC, who needs a purpose!

Anyone here ever tried to make a Death Star pumpkin?

 

[NO4H99]

posted a picture of mine earlier in the thread. If you do, set aside several hours and just make sure to scrape the inside REALLY well. The thinner the walls, the better it will turn out.

Haha good point :beer:

Exactly! who needs a purpose?
I think just building it, and seeing it run would work for me!
