Reflection

Reflect on the process of making this project. What did you learn? What would you do differently?

This is the first fusion360 project I did independently. After finishing it, I found myself more skilled in creating and manipulating models in fusion360. I gained more experience in using the laser cutter. 

One problem I ran into when using the laser cutter is that the laser didn't cut through the material the first time and I got a bit panic. But after I consulted professor Larson, it turned out it's normal. I just needed to fix the position of the material and cut it again with the same power and speed. 

The edge of the plywood was a bit burned after it's cut, which made the final product not perfect. Next time I would flip the pattern before I cut so that the back of the material got burned instead of the front.
