Week 14 documentation

While I have some experience with scoring complex crease pattern on a cricut as well as laser cutting sheet metal, I thought I would try out Jack's actuating fibers since I'm hoping to work on actuating folding structures next January.

The materials used where scissors, the fibers, conductive fibers, a sewing needle, tape, paper, optionally a cricut.
One of the hardest parts was just pulling the thread through the needle's eye since the thread.

Since I didn't have much time this week due to some final assignments in other classes, as well as working on my final project,
I decided to start small and just think about actuating a fold. Jack showed some demos of sewing the thermofiber into a woven conductive fabric with one sided stitches to create a fan folded pattern. Some other concepts were to stitch perpendicularly and unevenly to improving the actuation angle range. Additionally by braiding multiple strands of the actuating fiber with one strand of conductive thread.

For this week I just tried some different stiches to see if it was possible to reverse a crease using this method of actuation.
