 Next step: create template for lasercutter consisting of multiple segments (utilize rotation symmetry of the pieces -> compose plate of several segments)

11.09.2019:
Radius for big containers was extendend a bit, because tubes seem to be bigger than 10cm in diameter
Lasercut segments for plate. Profile: FLB_Sperrholz_4mm_Natur_new

Important: SVG produced by python script needs to be openend, transformed and saved in inkscape, otherwise import in CorelDraw fails

In progress:


TODO: 
- second ring above the first plate to fix the containers and hide the gear mechanic (or manufacure them from acrylic to show the mechanic)
- whole for hinges of big dispenser gears
- shovels for dispensers by cutting segments from a sphere

DONE:
- stack 2 plates for better stability (add cuts at small circles)
- automate generation of plate segment
- connectors for segments (jigsaw puzzle style)
- think about if stacked plate is to thick for a single gear (i.e. we may need two gears in order to transfer motion from below the plate to dispensers) -> solved by moving hinge point of the gear in between the two plates
