<p>I chose to work on a basic box as it will be the base form for my final project. By already cutting it in a smaller size in this assignment, I can have a first idea of the possibilities of construction.</p>

<p>Even if I entered the right parameters, the pieces didn't stick together so I'll have to try it again.</p>
<p>I've also designed a simple little hexagone piece with notches in Inkscape.</p>

<p>I started by cutting 2 of them to verify that they would fit together, which they did (woohoo !).</p>

<p>I cut a dozen more to be able to create new bigger 3D pieces.</p>

<p>First, I vectorised the Fab Academy logo and measured the place on the notebook. Then I made sure to adjust the vectorised file in Inkscape to fit in.</p>
