Week 3: Computer-Controlled Cutting

• Assignments

This week’s assignments

design, make, and document a press-fit construction kit!

And here it is!

The design is a very straight forward press-fit box without lid. The press-fit part has a 0.3mm overlap for tight fit.

The laser cutter used in this project is Epllog 40 which is a 40W CO2 laser. I use the following setting to vector cut the 3mm board.

Speed: 10
Power: 100
Frequency: 500
