			==== Inkscape ====
			I first created the shape of the puzzle in [[Inkscape]], taking advantage of [github.com/Neon22/inkscape-jigsaw the inkscape-jigsaw extension], kindly suggested by [[User:Michael Murtaugh\|Michael]]. I changed the colour of the stroke to red, because it is what the laser cutter interprets as a path to cut.

			I wrote the key words in each puzzle piece, in black (what the laser-cutter interprets as path to be engraved) and I converted the text to a path, to avoid potential inconsistencies.

			==== Engraving and laser-cutting ====
			The thickest material the laser cutters at the WdKA Digilab can cut is 6mm. In the WdKA’s shop I could not find anything with that thickness, so I got a 5mm-thick MDF slate of 600×600mm. Big mistake, because MDF contains a loot of glue and it is not possible to cut it with a laser (probably because it would get on fire). After learning this, I bought a 600×600×5mm plywood slate.

			I imported the SVG in the software, and the laser-cutter did everything by itself.

			I realised that the default settings for plywood (65% power, 100% velocity) of that thickness made the engraving very light, but I wanted it more visible, so I changed the engraving settings to 100% power and 60% velocity.

			==== Using the leftovers ====
			The final puzzle is 600×400mm, so I had a leftover slate of 600×200mm. I used it to make a promotional banner for the Fediverse I am very proud of.
