Crown and Wooden Designs

During the week that I was in the makersspace, I made a number of wooden circles as well as a crown.
On the first day, I knew I wanted to imprint one of my drawings onto something but I didn’t know what or onto what. I decided to use the laser cutter. I drew a mushroom onto a piece of paper took a picture of it, sent it to a computer, designed and cropped it, then my edited image to another computer to send it to the laser cutter and hence cut it out. This somehow took me all day and I burnt the side of it a little but it was pretty okay for my first time using the laser cuter.
For the second day, I wanted to make a wooden circle for my sister and it took forever to get right, I had to re-print her Luna Lovegood wooden circle multiple times. After my 4th print, it finally worked and she was so happy.
The next couple of days I was 3D designing my crowns on open SCAD. After I had finished my design I forgot to save it and had to completely re-design it. After making a few changes to my re-design I sent it to the 3D printer and it didn’t work so we had to wipe down the surface and re-print, after 8 hours I had a crown, and after a week of having my crown, I have neerly broken the entire thing. But it was so fun to make it, next time I will definitely make it stronger.
