experience for me.  As much as I&#8217;ve enjoyed laser cutting while at WPI, this was my first time actually assembling pieces together, and mixing laser cut pieces with other materials.  I have a newfound appreciation for the wide variety of other non-wood supplies that can go into a project like this &#8211; and if I were to do this again, I would take more care to really think through how all the pieces will come together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another lesson I can take away from this was the challenge of scale.  I sought to make something where users could select <em>from a variety of slides<\/em>, not just the 6 to 8 slides I&#8217;d made for the final showcase &#8211; but I didn&#8217;t realize until I started <em>making<\/em> these slides that each one takes a substantial amount of effort and time: from drawing it out, to cutting, compare to other slides and redesigning, and cutting again.  This is a lot of work for one person to do, especially since I didn&#8217;t have a concrete idea of what the subject would be until later in the process. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the final presentation on Monday, I focused on getting all my light box layers created and bound in paper I had laser cut during the week.
