Thank you, I hadn't read that article before.

I started indeed from the same pieces but I didn't want to use 3D printing to make plastic pieces this time.

I wanted to test laser cutting to make wooden or slate pieces quickly, easily and cheaply... in one ou two passes max for the set.

Unfortunately, these parts aren't perfectly suited to this, so I'll have to remake them. Maybe I'll do that later.

As I know that there are creators of pieces and beautiful libraries of SVG, there may be someone who would be interested to try. Apparently a lot of software allows you to hollow out a piece from an svg easily.
