Laser Cuts!

It took me a long time to get the files right for laser cutting but finally it was done! I was very happy with the results and the accuracy of the cut. I especially love how the fold/engrave cuts on the cone facade turned out with the hand photos cut into the watercolour paper too!

There was just one problem, I calculated the length of the structural poles wrong and as a result, I will have to re cut them tomorrow somewhere else as the school is conveniently moving the laser cutter machine tomorrow...

But I will still use the circular strips to hold the structure together. I also have to individually bend each fold (engrave) on the watercolour paper to ensure it serves it's function of being round.
