# Dinosaur production
## Overview
I had no good ideas for what to produce for this week. I tried to generate some ideas with Dall-E, but did not have any great successes. I thought about a toilet, aesthetic chair, a crown. I decided I would instead just cut a large amount of curved pieces and see what I can produce!

## Starting out
I started out by trying to figure out how to optimally curve the cardboard pieces; after this I would figure out how to lock the pieces together.

I tried two variations. One that cuts small rectangles and another that cuts through the top layer of the cardboard. The rectangle one was not effective no matter which permutation I put it in, so I opted for the half-cut option.

This was my first good production piece:

I realized though that it was better to bend it the opposite way. I then printed a bunch of them! Optimizing the exact power was a bit annoying.

I then yeeted all the objects together and ended up making a dinosaur.
