Fort Escape Games Podcast

In this episode, we'll talk about laser cutting techniques, including cutting and etching. We'll include tips for gluing up your designs, as well as a surprise for Evan on working with plastic glues.

In this episode, we'll talk about different techniques with 3D printing, including embedding magnets and tools to print filament samples. We'll then talk through different printing fails, and how to prevent those from happening.
