+### Designing
+I started by designing my base for my construction kit in fusion360 as a sketch.
+![alt text](FusionBaseSketch.jpg)
+I have made the teeth on the outside so I could extrude them as a separate body so I could use the pattern tool to attach them to the sides.
+
+Once I extruded the teeth as separate bodies I could use the pattern tool to automatically generate the rest of the teeth. 
+![alt text](F360Pattern.jpg)
+Using that tool I made the multiple bodies into one body.
+
+After I did that four times I was left with a lot of separate bodies. So to combine them I went into the Modify tab and then selected combine.

+### Turning the 3D model into a SVG file
+
+Here I've had some struggles because when using Fusions build in export utility it only exports the sketches. After that I creating a new sketch and then projecting the 3D design onto the sketch.
+![alt text](F360Project.jpg)
+But the issue with this is that it isn't 100% accurate
+
+Then I tried the Shaper Origin tool. But that crashed my fusion when I tried running it. After struggling for a while Michelle came to me and showed me the drawing tab of Fusion where you can define flat drawings of your 3d models and export them as svg.
+The tab is found here.

+Once you press that this menu will pop up

+
+The standard settings are fine. You maybe wanna increase the sheet size to get your full design on it.
+
+![alt text](Drawingscreen.jpg)
+
+Now you will enter this screen. You wanna set the scale to 1:1 and change the orientation to the top (if you've designed from the top). 
+

+You can Left click to place your design on the paper. Once you've placed everything you can select the outer borders and press delete.

+
+So you end up with this.
+
+Now you can export the file as DXF file that LightBurn can understand.
