For the LED light, i need a switch. At the base i had Laser cut a whole for the swtich install.

It is using USB to power the LEDs.

For the rooms i have use 3D prints "support" to make it semi transparent.

Here is the orginal file i send to the machine:

And the out come with the supporting:

For the chimney and the attached structure i use both 3D print via rhino and laser cut:

Working Process (Blue Foam)

The model 2

I saw thinking should i cast the base or not but due to it take long period of time to fully dry and also i may not have enough tools to craft so i use foam as a core and have plaster plus Polyfilla on top to make the smooth surface. It is a plan and here is the process:

The block of blue foam is far too big for me to work and i have cut into small piece at the cutter in the office space. But it is still to thick so i decide to slides cut it.

My blue foam cutter have other accessory and one is this and i hope can cut most of the part.

After few hours "melting " cutting sawing and make what i want.

Next cutting the shape i want to excavate and cut all the bit i do not want.

I just apply a thin layer 1st and then depends the situation and apply more if needed.

After sanding it have more smooth finishing.

3mm Acrylic (900X600) i also bought at Square House Lab cost AUD 25.44

WARNING: Make sure what kind of acrylic type you choose.

Here is the example of wrong settings.

It "craft" a really wide lines with 0.5mm deep. Obviously it is not cutting through.
It also burn a bit with bad smell.

Lab acrylic i thing is Extruded Acrylic which i can successfully cut through.

At last it cut through happily :)

Lab manager told me that he called the manufacturer of VLS 3.50 and they said our machine have the powder to cut through 7mm acrylic. Therefore, unless you are cutting 7mm (cause you will set as 7.5mm) otherwise using the default setting at the driver is more then enough. (Just remember to add at least 0.5mm in any material you are cutting)

Working Process (Rhino + Grasshopper)

I was quite worry is the major lips form make able or not (due to i am just a beginner of Rhino and grasshopper). So i start at the whaffle, 1st i make the shape. To make it according to Kate Moss's lip i trace at CAD:

Then import to sketchup for 3D model. ( I am not good at modeling in rhino at the moment. So model in sketchup is the best choice for me):

And then cut it into half:

And now it is ready for import to rhino.

After directly import sketchup into rhino, i have to choose "Trimmed Planes" due to grasshopper the file i use need to input BRep which is faces/planes:
