1)computer-controlled cutting

Assignment: design and make a press-fit construction kit

This week, I learned

My idea is making a flower and a plant.
Here is the first trial with cardboards.
I tried to get used to using machines on this day.
I drew a flower and a plant on the inkscape and 
exported .dxf files for the lasercutter.
Parts I made with lasercutter were too loose to press fit!
I tried the vinyl cutter to give flowers and plants color.
On fab modules, I tried to convert svg or png files with only lines
that I used for the laser cutter.
I got errors that the module could not convert and
finally I noticed that I had to prepare black and white
(not lines) files for fab modules.
Then, I designed png files for vinyl cutter again.
On the second day, I got thick cardboards.
I tweaked the size of parts for press-fit.
I used the vinyl cutter for patels, stalks and leaves.
A small piece of vinyl sheat sometimes did not work
because it is too small for cutting.
Finally, I got parts for flowers and plants!
I put them together and here are flowers and plants.
