You may have heard that Bambu Lab announced a brand new product yesterday (spoiler: It's NOT one of the best 3D printers).

I've been lucky enough to put the new Bambu Lab R1 laser cutter and engraver through its paces for the last few weeks, and one of the first projects I made was this beautiful wooden pumpkin display piece.

Spooky Season is upon us, and I think this is such a fun and easy craft for anyone who owns one of the best laser cutters and engravers to get involved with. All you need is a laptop with laser software, a laser cutter (duh), some acrylic paint, household glue, and some basswood plywood (I used these Bambu Lab sheets).

Oh – you'll also need to download the SVG files. I downloaded this project from Atomm, uploaded by user Pixel Perfect, so full props go to this creator. Follow along with the video I put together below, and let me know in the comments section how you got on or if you have any questions.
