+
+Years ago we got some horribly expensive foil needed to engrave metal using our laser-cutter. Today is, as far as I know, our first attempt to actually use it.
+
+People always seem to search for a lighter, but then forget to put them back. As a result, even the safely stored ones can never be found when a Bunsen needs to be lit (which we actually have an Piezo for that the evil smokers don’t want to steal) or a flame is needed for some project.
+
+Reason enough to make a big deal out of nothing and sponsor an old but sturdy quality Zippo and mark it **permanently** with the r3 Logo!
+
+Obviously the Zippo was empty. Just to be safe.<figure id="attachment_929" style="width: 300px;" class="wp-caption alignright">

+
+Afterwards the burned foil needs to be removed and the surface cleaned.
+
+Finished is the engraved lighter. Not so bad for a first attempt, even though the result could be even nicer. Laser-speed was set to 10mm/s and power to 100% of the 60W.
+
+Not to self for next time: don’t trust the red positioning dot without checking if it still **corresponds** to the actual laser position. The graphic was offset by a few mm. Still worked out though.
+
+Works! The final working result is now stored in the drawer in Masha. As engraved on the lighter. :-) The lighter fluid is right across from it on the shelf.
+
+Have fun and put it back!<figure id="attachment_931" style="width: 235px;" class="wp-caption alignleft">
