I learned a many things over the course of this assignment, but one of the most important things impressed upon me was the importance of having everything worked out and iterated before the dFAB time slot. The time spent physically in front of the laser cutter is actually the least important aspect of lasercutting an object. Before you cut, make sure that you took the kerf into account. Make sure that you have multiple iterations/variations of the final product before you hit print, so that when something goes wrong, you have a contingency plan. One hour is a lot less time than it seems it should be.
