To test the feasibility of mass producing Labo designs for educational programs, I Laser Cut the design using different types of Cardboard, folded the piece together, and tested its durability with the Nintendo Switch Console. This moved and performed very similar to the official version and proved the feasibility of laser cutting Labo designs, depending on the type of cardboard.\" data-attachment-id=\"2223\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Custom Nintendo Labo\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" data-src-fg=\"https:\/\/grindspark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/CustomLabo-copy\/385460567.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20width%3D%22120%22%20height%3D%22120%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20120%20120%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" loading=\"eager\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><figcaption class=\"fg-caption\"><div class=\"fg-caption-inner\"><div class=\"fg-caption-title\">Custom Nintendo Labo<\/div><div class=\"fg-caption-desc\">A part of my personal research into the Nintendo Labo, this is a sample my Laser Cutting experiments. The Design for this \"RC Car\" were taken from Nintendo's website. To test the feasibility of mass producing Labo designs for educational programs, I Laser Cut the design using different types of Cardboard, folded the piece together, and tested its durability with the Nintendo Switch Console. This moved and performed very similar to the official version and proved the feasibility of laser cutting Labo designs, depending on the type of cardboard.<\/div><\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-idle\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/grindspark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PrintrbotSimplePro_Fixed-1_Web-copy.png\" data-caption-title=\"Printrbot 3D Printer Repair\" data-caption-desc=\"At the Royal Ontario Museum, I&#039;m often entrusted to 3D Print objects and fix 3D Printing issues.
