individual assignment:
cut something on the vinylcutter
- I photoshopped a screenshot of a chanel logo and compressed it into a small black and white JPEG with clean boundaries using the compress and levels tools.
- Using the software provided (figure 2) I used the calculation and origin settings to locate the cut surface (figure 3)
- See chanel file w/ clean borders (figure 5)
- Me pointing to my origin (figure 6)
- Cutting settings were properly calibrated already but I went through the steps to select the setting for roled vinyl and moderate cutting pressure. (figure 7,8).
- I cut the section of sticker away from the roll (figure 9) and then removed the outer material (figure 10) ready for transferring.
design, lasercut, and document a parametric construction kit, accounting for the lasercutter kerf, which can be assembled in multiple ways
