Oh shoot, now Iām going to need to figure out how to actually convert things into usable formats.
I think this did itā¦ maybe? Help! @smcgathyfay! I need an adult!
and Iāll see about drawing up some livestock ammo for it.
ETA: Oh, and itās drawn assuming 1/4" stock. I was imagining wood, but I suppose it doesnāt make much difference. Clear acrylic? Itād look like Wonder Woman got a siege engine from the same people who built her jet.
ETA2: Updated a mismeasured part on the SVG based off of @smcgathyfayās suggestions, but did not change for the kerf, yet.

Ok one thing I did notice is that the slots and tabs seem to be the same size. This doesnāt account for kerf. Itās the difference of tight fit/no glue or loose fit/with glue.

Argh, stupid kerf. I mean I sorta assumed glue anyway, but thatās a frustrating thing to overlook. Is it not possible to align to cut outside of the path so that the kerf is wholly in the waste material?

But with so many hills and valleys so to speak it would be alot of inside outside adjustments

If you decide to do a āhow toā video, these are the kinds of things that us non-laser types want to know how to understand. I would have thought that the amount of material that is lost when the laser cuts the material would allow the tabs to fit the slots with room for glue. I have soooo much to learn.

Yes, it would fit with gluing, but when you can get a fit that no glue is necessary, itās pretty nice
