My friend's daughter is coming up to her first birthday, so what to get for a one year old? I wanted to give something personal and unique. I have one of those names that you just can't find printed on coffee mugs or novelty license plates, so I know how exciting is can be to have your name emblazoned across a product.

In the end I combined the above thoughts and decided to make a colorful name puzzle, laser cut of course! This is a great little present that is personal, looks great on a shelf and is also educational. Read the steps below to see how it was made.

Thanks for your design. You say you have some more designs but I can't find any links that work. What is the address for your open source design site please. Does anyone know of anywhere else that has some good laser-cutting designs apart from Thingiverse and cnc zone? Thanks everyone
