This week I shifted gears from my gear reducer project to the beginning of a vinyl cutter project. The goal of this project is to create a decal for my favorite teacher and create a t-shirt for myself. I had no idea how to vinyl cut at the beginning of the week. But after about 45 minutes of youtube videos, and lessons from other kids at my school's engineering club, I was able to learn how to use the vinyl cutter. I began prototyping with the vinyl cutter and I got good results.
