Week 10 - Laser Cutting

After the initial prototype we decided we needed to use another material that is slides a lot easier and looks a lot cleaner when constructing the prototype. Ben made a small plastic rail so we were able to see how well plastic slid against plastic. We decided to have our laser cutting cut out of 3mm white plastic. Unfortunately we didn't have someone double check the file being sent through so the first lot we had laser cut was not to the write measurements we wanted. Luckily enough the laser cutters agreed to give us our second lot that were the correct measurements back to us within a day so we would have enough time to put the prototype together.

Below is an image of the second laser cutting file we sent through.
