Monster Mouse Droid? Maybe?

Mostly I expect to "just" chop off a bunch of pipes to the desired lengths.  There are a couple details I might print, but some of it won't be visible from the side/below (inside of the big pipes), so I'll probably skip that bit.  I did make a trip to the laser cutter today though.

The bottom side has some tabs, like solder tabs, so x6 scale I decided to cut those from some of the plywood.  There's also some plywood rectangles that needed made, and the laser sounded easiest.  The back edge of the greeblies has some up/down and chopped off corner, so I did that as well.

Spent about 2 hours designing and aligning the parts in CorelDraw.

Unfortunately, the laser only has as 24" bed and the greeblies are 42" wide, so I had to do the back piece in two parts.

Took about 2 hours to cut them all... totally muffed up some of the rectangles, need 22, 13 were OK, but I accidentally made 9 on the other sheet too skinny.  So then I tried to recut them out of some scrap, but the laser was too fast and didn't cut all the way through.  (Accidentally picked 27% speed instead of 17%, oops).  So then I had to try to cut them again, but running out of scrap in work's maker garage.  Lined up some of them that weren't cut all the way through and recut slower.  (If I'd noticed before taking them off I could've just run another pass.  Grr.)
