Evaluation of Your Assignment for Computer_Controlled Cutting Week
Group Assignment:
Briefly, write in your own words about what you learned during this group assignment and how it prepared you for doing your individual assignments.
Vinyl Cutting:
"Step 4 Open the PDF file in Inkscape and select print, then open preferences and select the cutting area from the machine." --> Just for your info: Since you opened your image in Inkscape and modified, it was not necessary to save as PDF and again open the pdf in Inkscape, because you eventually sent the print order from Inkscape directly."The next step, select the type of vinyl film that is being used (piece, roll, or edge)." --> Good that you have explained about them separately, also specify which of them did you use for this task?Either delete the first picture with blue vinyl or keep it, you need to explain that first you placed the blue vinyl by mistake but then you changed the vinyl when you noticed you should use another kind of vinyl for press heat!Explain about reversing your design and also placing the vinyl in the machine inversely!-
Upload the .svg file of your panda design for vinyl cutting.You should either reverse your design and then save it and then upload the new .svg; OR you can explain that this .svg that you have uploaded is the original design for vinyl cutting but one need to reverse the design before vinyl cutting for making T-shirt!
Images:
Write caption for your images.The size of the most of your images is too high. Reduce the image size. Ask Ivan what could be the maximum size for each image.
Laser Cutting:
-
"Then, place the laser with the joystick" --> then control the movement of the laser head by using the joystick on the control panel.with this comment, I mean that you need to replace your sentence ("Then, place the laser with the joystick") with something like what I wrote for you (then control the movement of the laser head by using the joystick on the control panel.).
"Finally, after positioning the laser, press the joystick to set the JOG." --> to set the origin.-
"First, use the up and down arrows to select JOG from the control panel of the laser cutter." --> to select FocusCorrect sentence for adjusting focus: First, use the up and down arrows to select Focus from the control panel of the laser cutter.
Parametric Design:
You need to explain how you designed your objects (which tools and how did you access tools, e.g., for defining the parameters: Modify > Change Parameters > user parameters > clicking on the + icon > ...)You need to fix your design itself. Because look what happens When I change the values for the parameters:“Slot depth = Value - Kerf” --> I don't see such a formula in your defined parameters. Please fix it.When you fix your design, if you are going to have these two current objects, remember that you need to have at least the following parameters: kerf, materialThickness, SlotWidth (MaterialTickness-kerf) and TabWidth (MaterialTickness+kerf)I will evaluate your documentation for this section again since you need to redo it. You also have the option of making your panda design parametric if you wish.-
Replace the current .f3d file with the new version when you fix your parametric design.At the end, add .pdf file that you send the print order to the laser cutter as well.File does not open. Please check it.Add also .stl file for your parametric design at the end when everything is OK with your design.Replace the current .pdf file (as I explained to you in the fab lab) with the final one that you sent the cut order to the laser cutter with!
"Second, saving it as a PDF file and modify it in Inkscape" --> document how you saved it?
Results of the week
Complete this section after you fix the problem with your parametric design.
