record</a>.  Though all the documentation for that project is available <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/3D-Printed-Record/step7/">here</a>, and the 3D models could potentially be printed through an online fabrication service, I knew that the barrier to entry for normal people interested in trying out the process themselves was prohibitively high.  With this project I wanted to try to extend the idea of digitally fabricated records to use relatively common and affordable machines and materials so that (hopefully) more people can participate, experiment, and actually use all this documentation I’ve been writing.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Laser-Cut-Record/" title="http://www.instructables.com/id/Laser-Cut-Record/">More Here</a></p>
