[sudo-discuss] help with laser cutting (& design) ?

[Patrik D'haeseleer]

Hi all,

I've been meaning to design and laser cut a contraption for our Science
Sideshow at the Cal Academy NightLive LIVE
<http://www.calacademy.org/nightlife/nightlife-live-june> event this
Thursday evening, but I'm rapidly running out of time.

Anyone able to give me a hand?

Basically, I found these vases that look just like giant test tubes - long
cylinder with a rounded bottom. So now I want to make a giant test tube
rack, and have them sitting at our booth with some food color and dry ice,
steaming away. Would look awesome!

I got about halfway through designing the thing in Inkscape, but I've never
dealt with designing fasteners for plywood before. Needs to have a wide
base so it doesn't tip over, but also needs to be hangable from a wall, so
the base may need to be removable.

If I were to order this through Ponoko, I'd probably go with something like
their 1/4 inch amber bamboo plywood
<http://www.ponoko.com/make-and-sell/show-material/226-bamboo-amber-3-ply>.
Is there any plywood at Sudo? Recommendations for a good place to buy nice
plywood?

Patrik
