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

What I found to be the hardest part of this project was utilizing both Fusion 360 and Illustrator in order to create the designs from this project. I had started creating the main bases in Fusion 360 an transferring the sketches as .dxf files into Illustrator to add details. Unfortunately, getting these Illustrator files back into Fusion 360 in order to create the renderings was difficult, due to all of my open geometries. I had to go back and alter the sketch in order to make them closed extrusions.

I think that for next time, I would probably be more careful with creating closed geometries in both Fusion 360 and Illustrator, as it caused me difficulty in both rendering and actually cutting (as I had issues with the laser not recognizing some of my engraving commands at first).
