Woot! We got an article on Hackaday!

The new video demonstrates laser-cut lens profiles, but the design files aren’t available yet because I encountered a problem specific to the CAD program I’m using. Curves in “saved” files are curves, but exported as DXF files they become polylines. I can cut curved pieces, but when you cut from DXF files the curves are faceted.

Our CAD expert is looking into this and should have well formed files soon, and then they’ll go up on the GitHib account and the Hackaday.io page.

(Also, we’re cooking up something special for the “Citizen Scientist” interim prize, and that’s taking up a lot of time. Check the project page for updates.)
