Laser cut and Final template

When I finished my 123D make slice, I exported the Pdf file and then imported to the Illustrator to set the line weight and the color. The line weight for the fab lab laser cut machine is smaller than 0.001mm and the color should be red (255,0,0). Then the file can be used to laser cut.
Try to think more before you start to print, I laser cut 3 times and then finally put the model together.




Think about the material 
Some material should work for your model but not mine, strongly recommend 1.6mm or 3mm plywood for laser cut and metal shaping. Strong and Strong

Think about the thickness
Some material is hard to put together, u can sand the slot later or adjust the thickness first befor you print.

Think about the file you cut is your latest one
One time, when I finished laser cut and start to put them together, I found there are 6 pieces missing, and then I realized I print the wrong file

Think about the Fablab computers log off time
The Fablab computers would automatically logoff in 15 min, once it logoff and then the laser cut machine would start from the beginning, be aware of it, play with mouse or keyboard, don't go out for lunch when you print your document.
