Homework assignment

Computer-Controlled Cutting

Design, make, and document a press-fit construction kit.

Developing of press-fit construction

I used OpenSCAD to create press-fit construction for determination of laser cutter width. To output text using OpenSCAD I installed unstable version using this tutorial.
We have 80W CO2 tube so I used 50% of power and 50 mm/sec to cut press-fit construction:



Inside code (look "source files") you can change parameters:
thickness controls initial thickness of material you want to investigate,
deps controls value of each step in mm,
allsteps controls total number of cuts.
