For the second project, we will be working, in my opinion, with the most dangerous machine in the maker space for many reasons. First of all, the machine that we will be using has a strong laser that can burn skin and damage crucial parts of the eyes and thus harm the vision. In addition to that, this machine can cause a fire hazard if we set it up incorrectly, i.e., every material has particular settings that need to be used to cut safely and it is crucial to follow these guidelines. To protect our eyes and people’s eyes in the shop, all should wear special tinted glasses. It is important to babysit the machine and watch the process because fire can occur. If we notice a small fire, we should stop the machine and use a spray bottle to get rid of the fire. We will need to use a fire extinguisher and other guidelines in case the fire gets bigger. During the training, we learned the escaping routes, fire alarms locations, and the place where people meet after escaping the building.
The post-production process includes numbering the parts, then assembling them using a small amount of glue and wooden dowels (or other material of choice).
