The lens has a very shallow depth of field which is not flat so the samples are not entirely visible.I thought it would fun to create a simple airplane model which could be reproduced on a laser cutter.
The trick was that the wing would be holes in the shape of an airfoil so when the paper was put into the holes, it would maintain the airfoil shape. This way, a durable body could repeatedly be outfitted with inexpensive wings. I took the idea a step further and used CAD to determine the circumference of the wings so that a flat surface could be integrated into the plane design and used to measure the paper width when making wings. The flat surface at the bottom of the plane is the same distance as the circumference of the wing hole. The flat surface at the tail of the plane is the same as the horizontal elevator circumference. Plane Laser Cut Dwg Free Ends TowardOnce the paper is cut and placed in the holes with the free ends toward the back of the plane, the ends should be taped together, and a piece of tape can be added to the body touching the wings and frame. Tossing this around the office wasnt an awe-inspiring experience but it was cut out of heavy wood and a computer screw was taped to the front. It should have been cut from something lighter, like foam-core or Styrofoam. This disclaimer must be included if a project is distributed.

The commercially available conductive paint was much more liquid so it produced thinner traces. All traces were dried for at least five hours in the order to test their resistance as it would be in a finished project. Close-up pictures were taken of each sample using a macro lens.
