Penny Hockey Fabrication Day 3

Today I planned on laser engraving a logo into the vinyl tile I cut. Below is a picture of the 8.5in x 12in black vinyl tile. While printing, the engraver started producing an unusually large amount of smoke. It filled the entire Makerspace with the stench of burning plastic. The engraver stopped halfway through printing someone's logo. Later we found out that the laser engraver's filter needed to be changed. No one was able to do so at the moment, so unfortunately, laser engraving for everyone in line was delayed.

Since the laser engraver was temporarily out of order, I worked on completing my engineering notebook instead. I finished my research and determined where I would place the defenders and goals on the set. I also began my concept sketches. I plan on including an isometric sketch using isometric paper, and a front, side, and top view using orthographic paper.

Because of multiple setbacks, the due date of the project was moved back to November 12th. Hopefully the laser engraver's filter will be changed by the next class, and everyone will be able to continue with their projects.
