Milestone: there will be no more hand-cut patterns.
All of the design, minus the webbing, is in CAD now, so the prototype scheduled to be built this week will have lasercut patterns. Shipped the materials to the laser cutter today; plan to finish the webbing CAD while the parts are being cut and shipped back. After this prototype is built (aiming for Friday), it'll be time to start reliability testing.
