Week Fourteen Post
Post date: Apr 27, 2018 12:56:21 AM
The first thing I did this week is I got the Arduino sketches, STL. files, and material list for the DNA lamp project. With the time I had left in the week, I decided to continue my work on the vinyl cut. I quickly went back over my design and decide to change the font to comic sans. After starting the vinyl cut almost immediately failed and I blamed the font. A friend recommended a font with many right angles and straight edges. After I tried to cut the second design, the same thing happened as in the first. So then I tested the piece of vinyl multiple times each time turning the focus up. The tests did not work and I showed Mr. Moss and he said that the blade was too dull and needed to be replaced.
