Shown how you made your vinyl project. -
Included your design files and photos of your finished project.
Group work:
Your group work documentation does not include testing important characters of the lasercutter such as power, speed and rate.
Please clarify the following:
Where did you choose auto focus and how did you do manual positioning on Epilog mini.100x40mm rectangle cut in 20 5x40mm piecesName these values in the text before the related image.Name and explain the parameters that you defined for your press-fit construction kit.The explanation of how you used those parameters to parametrically design your file is missing.Making the press-fit kit: Name the laser cutter that you used for making your press-fit kit.Mention the laser cutting settings that you used for cutting your press-fit kit.Vinyl cutting section: Then, in the printer settings dialog, (shown in the image on the right)Which image?include the image of the UI of the machine with the settings that you used for cutting.Vinyl cutting section: What was the pen force for your cut?Mention also pinch rollers should be aligned on grit marks.Vinyl cutting section: you mention that you opened an inkscape svg file.You need to clarify if it was your design or a ready one? (If ready one, link to the source)If it was a ready file/image, did you need to edit it and prepare it for cutting? (e.g. did you use trace bitmap or any other tool? If yes, explain what is the tool and how you did it?)What was the value for the line width?Vinyl cutting section: How did you remove wanted/unwanted parts?Vinyl cutting section: Pictures of different steps are missing, e.g. when you finished cutting, when you transferred it to the transferring sheet.Laser cutting is a complicated process. I learned a lot about it.In a few sentences wrap up what you have learned about it by reflecting on your experiences(challenges, frustrations, successes, Failures, considerations)Consider a section at the end of your documentation for including your files (parametric design (.stl, .pdf), design for vinyl cutting (.svg), design for kerf test (.svg, .pdf), design for power, speed and frequency (.svg, .pdf).
- Still .stl file of the parametric design is missing.

Parametric design is handy, but it took a lot of time to do it properly. I'm satisfied with the result./
