This week, I kept working on the mug of Mr. Sal. But I finally figured it out. Tinkercad could just slice thorugh the stuff in the mug and keept the face of Mr. Sal solid and not hollow. But it didn't work because i couldn't import the file because there was a file size limit of 25 mb. But when I exported under coarse in 123D, it worked and was imported into Tinkercad. I used a hollow cylinder to get rid of everything in the mug. And I checked, the face of Mr Sal was solid and not hollow. I was very excited. Right at this moment, it is still printing. And I hope to see how it will turn out. We could not do much these past two weeks due to the hurricane, Rosh Shashana and Yom Kippur. That is why this post is very short.

I also started learning to laser cut. My friend Sean, is trying to teach me the setting and how to do it all.

This was the first time I tried to engrave on the laser cutter or use the laser cutter at all. Sorry if you cannot see the picture. Mr. Moss told me the reason this happened was because the white door was in the background and that it caused too much whitelight therefore disrupting everything and making it look really bad.

This was the second time I used it. I used the grayscale option and this happened. At least with the first one, you could see the people's faces. I did remove the white door but on the next time I try it, I will cut it without the white door and see how it turns out.
