Decided to print an "old school rocket" from thingiverse for the lab:

Seen here in front of Jenine's "Providence" sign.

The Fluxamacutter is a design for a simple vinyl cutter that satisfies these criteria:

• Inexpensive ($50-$100 in parts)
• All parts can be cut on a 24"x12" laser cutter
• All press-fit construction: minimize hardware fasteners
• No precision parts required: all hardware cheap and widely available
• Arduino-compatible
• Plug-and-play replacement for existing HPGL-speaking cutters

The initial cutter will be able to take 15"-18" rolls, and will be designed to scale to 24" rolls.

I constructed this ruffle beard from fabrics that I lasercut and hand- painted. I wear it while biking to keep my face warm.

I drew these shapes, lasercut them, and assembled them into jointed figures. The joints consist simply of short pieces of bent wire.

This is a sheet of lasercut pieces for the jointed figures. The material is matboard from a frame shop.

This is a press- fit swingset that I lasercut from 1/4" thick wood.

I drew these shapes on a computer with a mouse, which took a very long time and hurt my wrist. I am investing in a tablet so I can draw more comfortably on the computer.

Row row, fight da powa.
