Summary

Makes the proper slit design needed to make flexible wood/acrylic parts on a laser cutter.
I couldn't find anything decent out there that allowed me to export custom sized flexi cuts for projects. Doing this by hand drove me crazy so I made this thing. Hope you enjoy!
With this design, you can adjust:

Width and height of the output area
The number of rows
Number of lines per row
Spacing between lines in a row
The outputted design is exactly proportional and each row is offset by 50% of the row before so you get consistent lines without having to figure it out yourself.
If you use this, I'd love to see what you've made!

Instructions

Adjust the output size, number of rows any anything else you want to adjust and then export a DXF that you can import into your laser cutter program of choice.
I take the export and then draw a cutout box around it based on the design I need but you can do whatever you want with it!
Experiment and play around till you find what works :)
