I have most of the electrical components I want to test and solder onto the first prototypes.

I also designed and laser cut a testbed on acrylic, to simplify the layout and testing process before I try it on skin.

I haven’t changed too much in my approach yet, but I need to do more testing of the actual vinyl cutter.
