Interesting article! As a fledging maker, I'd be interested to hear why you chose to use Inkscape first before importing to Tinkercad?
I'm assuming it must be because Inkscap has better capabilities for that kind of detailed adjustments based on the reference picture.
Is this a good generic approach to first design the different layers (where the cutouts go through the whole depth of the layer) or would it be more or less the same to just go with the Tinkercad straight ahead if your own measurements were all you had to start with? The round edges seem maybe most tricky to implement with Tinkercad (this is coming without being an expert in the software whatsoever).
