-. Prepared the PDFs for laser cutting using Illustrator - changed the orientation, changed the stroke count to enable cutting, set the speed, power and frequency for the red parts to engrave, and the blue parts to cut.
+. Prepared the PDFs for laser cutting using Illustrator - changed the orientation (landscape, canvas size 1000 x 690), changed the stroke count to 0.001pt to enable cutting, changed the settings on the laser cutter to speed 100 power 10 for the red numbers to engrave, and the settings to speed 60 power 50 for the blue outlines to cut.
 . Used the laser cutter to print the leg plans using cardboard (3mm thick) and the joint plan using wood (MDF, 6mm thick).
