Thanks to RCL volunteers

• No prior knowledge of Inkscape or lasers

• Tools were operational

• Items well labelled

• Instructions were referenced on wiki

• Not possible without many dedicated hours from RCL members!

Brand new members able to make a laser coaster and 3d printed dice within 1 hour.

Check out the Wiki-https://wiki.rivercitylabs.space/ VCarve desktop client -so you can work on your projects at home without having to come to the space. Key will be on Slack access channel

To use your design you will need to come into the space and use one of the full copies of VCarve Pro to export your design and cut it on Shapeoko CNC machine.
