Fractal Letter Puzzle - E

Thanks! I have the Letter T, if you didn’t see it. Fractal Letter Puzzle - T

And the final product for the T puzzle. Brought to you by the Letter "T"

A few tips.
I put blue painters tape over the pieces before I took it out of the Glowforge. This let me hold them all together while removing the pieces to glue the backing on.
Paint the backside of the pieces (I actually just used a black sharpie). It will make the puzzle slightly more forgiving if you can’t accidentally put it in upside down.
While I commend you for figuring it out on Inkscape, I actually cheated and just used plain old paint. Let me explain some more, which should help you make other letters.

I made the fractal in Inkscape using the L-System as above. Then, I figured out what I wanted for an outline of the letter. I connected those, then deleted the rest of the lines. I was left with the E, but they were all interconnected. I took the image to Paint, and then used the lines and bucket fill to come up with where I wanted to make my pieces. You can see in the image below, the red lines are where I wanted additional cuts to make the pieces. Once I had this key, I went back to Inkscape to add and delete line segments as needed.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I’d be glad to help! I was planning on doing more of these, but other projects came up.
