The most important thing I learned from this assignment is that testing material fit and alignment is key. No matter how precise you are in your digital representation, the fabricated product will rarely be exactly as you intend. Error occurs due to material cutting, temperature changes, kurf, etc. Testing may take time early on, but it will save time in the long run.

At first, it seemed as though it would be impossible to create "bloxes" that were not orthogonal. I then discovered that I could layer, or stack, pieces of acrylic in order to create complex solids. I used this method to reiterate the nut/bolt interaction, effectively making the nut into the bolt block, and the bolt into the nut block.
