I made a few adjustments to the prototype for my final revised papercraft object such as: adding tabs to the inner liner piece of the hat to close off the gaps between the connecting pieces and scaling the model to fit a larger piece of paper for the laser cutter as well as to make assembly easier for the smaller sections.
When putting the object together, I made the decision to make the side with the laser-cut score lines on the outside. This was because on the opposite side of the paper there were burn marks left by the laser cutter that I didn't want to show and I didn't mind the look of the score marks personally since they resembled stitching you would see on sewn fabric and added a new detail to the hat. I also liked that I was able to see more of my work that was done with the score lines showing for this particular object.
The green paper wasn't exactly the green I wanted, however, I do think that having the colours makes a very big difference in the final product compared to the prototype which was just the solid white printer paper.
Overall, I am quite happy with the outcome of this design and feel a lot more comfortable using Rhino to create flat-faced models and objects.
