As my first project in the class, I never realized how much I didn't know. Besides having to draft in a program I've never used before, I had to use tools that I've barely even touched before. That being said, there were definitely problems in the draft that had to be fixed and knowing how to adjust for your material is tricky too. My initial few attempts either didn't cut through entirely or cut parts out that should've been left in.

Another peculiar error was having double or even triple duplicate lines over certain parts of my sketch. This caused the laser cutter to cut the same line twice or even three times and sometimes led to full penetration in areas I didn't want to be cut all the way.

Although I like how the watercolor paint on top of the finished clock face looks, I wish I could've had more layers so it added more depth to the water and land masses.

Another thing I learned, given these new programs, is that they also have limits (or at least my computer does). When it comes to rendering so many tiny details, it definitely isn't easy. I wonder if I could've done something to stop Fusion from crashing or having to deal with so many small details but I couldn't figure out a good solution before it was too late.

Overall, I am satisfied with my clock. If I could do it again, I would add more detail, as long as Fusion lets me, and add more rope layers around the frame as well as topographic layers on the face.
