-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
-
-In progress:
-- automate generation of plate segment
-
-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)
-- 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)
-- shovels for dispensers by cutting segments from a sphere
-- connectors for segments (jigsaw puzzle style)
