A generator for Kumihimo disks, made in Cuttle

My daughter is a huge fan of various braiding techniques.

Occasionally, she's browsing Pinterest in search of new techniques to experiment with. And that's when she came across Kumihimo discs and the remarkably simple method of braiding bracelets. She tried making some out of cardboard, but they didn't hold up very well.

When I noticed these discs, it immediately struck me that they would be an ideal project to recreate using Cuttle. Cuttle is an incredible parametric vector program, particularly suitable for laser cutters. Moreover, the ability to parameterize designs makes it incredibly easy to create generators.

Now, we utilize it to generate various sizes effortlessly.
