The hypeosaur can be made with a laser cutter.
Materials (Plywood, MDF, etc. also can do)
* 5mm Plexiglas for the hypeosaur
* 3mm Plexiglas for the labels and support elements
Settings for the Trotec 100R 50W (adapt if you use another material)
* 5mm cutting (red): power = 100%, speed = 0.8, 4000Hz
* 3mm cutting (red): power = 100%, speed = 1, 4000Hz
* engraving (blue and black): power = 100%, speed = 50, DPI = 500
The drawing of the Hypeosaur was made in Inkscape by combining elements from 2-3 different Wikipedia drawings plus some envelope editing
Casings for the labels were made with the Generate from Path-> Scatter extensions (read https://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/Using_Inkscape_for_laser_cutting#Working_with_patterns for details).
