As the bed approaches the head, use individual button clicks to move the bed up until it JUST touches the focus device, either knocking it off or causing it to move. | As the bed approaches the head, use individual button clicks to move the bed up until it JUST touches the focus device, either knocking it off or causing it to move. | ||

+ | ===== New Laser induction Activity Dec 2019- usb stick ===== | ||
+ | <WRAP hideslide> | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Background==== | ||
+ | After using the Chair design for several year it became aparent that we needed a new practical take home activity that contained some intrinsic value. Why not make a customised usb stick. The small cost of the usb stick would be outweighed by the utility of the outcome. | ||
+ | ====Process==== | ||
+ | the insides of usb were measured up with vernier Callipers and drawn up to create a template for the naked USB Board to be retained inside. | ||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | In Illustrator, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ====Design Considerations==== | ||
+ | * usb connector needs to not be obstructed | ||
+ | * its preferable that the usb stick obstruct the //port next door// | ||
+ | * its preferable to us offcuts for the laser materials | ||
+ | * its preferable to try a couple of different techniques in the session so that participants get to see a range of techniques and use cases for the Laser and broader FL resources | ||
+ | * its a requirement for the timely completion of the induction that the design require a minimum of cutting and especially etching time. | ||
+ | * its a requirement for the timely completion of the induction that artwork is straight forward to lay out | ||
+ | * There is no tome in the 2hour induction for participants to make their own original design but are welcome to book and use the laser in the future. | ||
