Laser Cut Thingiverse
Designing
I didn't design this project myself, but that was the whole point of it. The point was to use a website to find a file and create it, you can see the website on slide 1. I was very sure i wanted to do a jewelry tree. This is because I recently bought a lot of new jewelry and had nowhere to organize it. This was a perfect solution. I found many different options, and decided on a design that wasn't to complex or to simple, you can see it on slide 2. Once I found the design I had to put it into illustrator, so I could put it on a thumb drive, and cut it out, you can see the file on slide 3.

Cutting
I first had to pick out a piece of cardboard that would fit my whole design and cut it to fit into the laser, which you can see on slide 1. I then put my thumb drive into my computer and opened it into the UVC, or the universal control panel, you can see what the file looked like in the UVC on slide 2. I then located my laser and cut out my jewelry tree, which you can see on slide 3. Once it was all cut out I put it together, you can see what the product looked like after i put it together on slide 4. I then tested it out using some of my jewelry, which you can see on slide 5.
