Laser cutting Pride pins

Because of the month that's in it, I decided to take some scrap wood and laser-cut out some small Pride flags, to be worn as badges or jewellery. It turned out to be not as easy as it sounds.

I sourced some flag .svgs from wikipedia, and flailed about in Inkscape until I had removed the colour fills, and stroked the paths. Saved out as plain .svg, and brought into Luban for processing. Because I am dealing with a mystery wood, 0.3cm thick, the Definitive Guide really was just a guideline in choosing settings. I had to play around a little.
