We spent about 2-3 days in the 3d computer lab working on the
outline for our arduino case that we wanted to laser cut. Thankfully Hsuanting
knew how to use Rhino or we would have been stuck. After spending hours
figuring out the thickness of the pieces and the placement of the wires and
sensors, we finally got the outlines for the pieces. After doing some online
research, we realized that acrylic boards were much too expensive for what we
wanted to do, so we settled for 3 dot chip-boards.
The first board we laser cut was not cut all the way
through, but since we had already moved the board, we had to hand cut the rest
in order to prevent the laser from cutting new shapes. The second time, we
increased the intensity of the cut from 20% to 25% and the second board cut
fine. Make sure the board is cut through before moving it!!
