+27.08.2019:
+ 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
+
+TODO: 
+- stack 2 plates for better stability (add cuts at small circles)
+- second ring above the first plate to fix the containers and hide the gear mechanic (or manufacure them from acrylic to show the mechanic)
+- shovels for dispensers by cutting segments from a sphere
+- automate generation of plate segment
+- connectors for segments (jigsaw puzzle style)
