2023-10-30 3d printed Carousel part
A broken part is 3d printed that is supposed to fix the carousel.

- Sometimes the paper would get stuck in a ridge. Alessia and Thijs fixed this by covering the ridge with a piece of blue tape.
2023-12-14 Plotterheist and notes by Thijs
December 13th, the final day before the holidays, Manetta and Joseph encouraged Thijs to take home a plotter. (Someone has to feed it paper over the break) The 14th, Alessia and Thijs organized a plotterheist. The plotter safely made it's way to Thijs's place.
Some notes by Thijs:
- The printer will often throw an error when drawing manually. Maybe issues around the bounds?
- Something is still off with the carousel. When the plotter starts, it sounds like something is stuck for ~5 seconds, before the carousel starts rotating.
