What is the Best Type of Paper for Cross-Sectional / Overlay Design Work?
Unsure if this is the best place to post this question. But I've started doing diving into woodworking and have come to the conclusion that my life would be 1000x easier to break up the design into individual sheets for major "layers" / "cross-sectional snapshots" rather than having a vomit of information on a single page with dimensions for every single cut in the build. I would like be able to split up details for various sections of the build while still being able to flatten out all the sheets to still see the overall final design outline. The best reference I could think of was basically the scene from the first Iron Man where Tony shows his designs the first suit while in the cave (see attached photos).
I did a little research and saw theres a few different types of translucent paper stock (Vellum, Tracing Paper, etc.). Is there a consensus on what is the best for pencil to paper product design that allows for this desired overlaying functionality. I would also prefer if it came in lose sheets or a pad (not a roll) and is printed with faint gridlines on it.
I don't really want to take the time to learn a 3D Modeling / CAD software at this point.

Affirmation/Tarot Cards
Does anyone know where I can go to create and print quality affirmation/tarot card decks with my uploaded illustrations?
A few other questions 1. I can’t seem to figure out if the place that’s printing the card will also print box the card goes in along with the packaging it will be be shipped to the customer?
Should I create my design for the individual card face and back in another app first and then upload this into illustrator?
If I create my design outside of illustrator will I have to turn into a vector first before?
How do I make a logo/defined lines after I creating my design in procreate
Other than YouTube is there a free platform (or with a free trial) I can do to learn some of these things?
I have so many creative ideas I would like to pursue but struggle with anything associated with these ideas really. I’m a nurse and find all of these things to be pretty difficult to be completely honest. Especially since there is so much information

Making a somewhat flexible paper-thin e-ink display
I'm trying to build a product which has a separate thin and flexible eink display module. The display is on its own (no PCB, no nothing) to be very thin (max 3 to 4 mm). Of course, there is to be a connector for the display signal.
How do I encase the display in something which offers it protection against bumps etc. (maybe some epoxyish encasing stuff?) and so I also get a port left out either fixed into the casing or as a loose cable outside it?

Looking for similar adhesive to band-aids
I have a medical device but I need a proper adhesive to bind it to the skin. There's not a lot online besides looking at the patents from companies like Band-Aids for the adhesive that I want. Does anyone know of a similar tack/paste adhesive that I could use to try out the device before ordering a large amount of it?

Looking for efficient way to strip enamel from copper magnet wire tips for motor soldering (mass production)
Hey everyone,
I’m working on a project that involves mass processing of enamel-coated copper magnet wire, and I’m looking for the most efficient and scalable way to remove the enamel just from the wire tips – enough to solder them to motor terminals.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
- Sandpaper – works, but way too slow and inconsistent for bulk
- Burning with a lighter – leaves carbon, inconsistent results
- Soldering iron with flux – sort of melts the enamel, but it’s not clean and too slow for production
- Acetone – doesn’t affect the enamel I'm dealing with
What I need is either:
- A chemical process that reliably strips enamel from the tips without damaging the copper
- An automatable mechanical or thermal method (laser, hot blade, abrasive tool, etc.) that works on thin copper wires (0.2–0.5 mm)
- Ideally something that prepares the wire ready for soldering without needing additional cleanup
This is for connecting wires to small motors, so reliability and solderability are key. Anyone from coil winding, electronics assembly, or similar fields with proven solutions?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Are there any niches left for product photographers like me which are not going to be replaced by 3D renderings in the next 2 years?
Iam also happy about unspecific answer to lead in me in the right direction. My current assumption of the market is: Everything where you basically only need 2 or 3 photos is often cheaper by a good product photographer. Everything with difficult surfaces like fabric where you need close shots or which has to be arranged carefully like a blanket on a couch is much faster and cheaper done as product photo.
Everything with clear edges, metal stuff, simple design, stuff you need to change and with difficult color varations, products you dont need close up shots for: 3D models and renderings.

Looking for Perspectives on Productivity Tools
Hi everyone! I’m a User Experience design student and I am currently designing an app that focuses on how people (particularly those with ADHD, autism, etc.) engage with productivity tools—or struggle to.
I know that many existing apps don’t work well for all brains, and I want to gather real insights to design something better. Instead of making assumptions, I want to hear directly from people with lived experience to ensure that whatever I create actually helps.
If you’re open to sharing, I’d love your input on this short, anonymous survey (should take around 5 minutes): https://s.surveyplanet.com/jbo0qroz
Why am I doing this? - This is for a UX Design bootcamp project, NOT a company or research study. -I genuinely want to understand the pain points of productivity tools so I can design something that works better for everyone. -Your input will help shape my work and (hopefully) contribute to better UX for neurodivergent users.
I completely understand if surveys aren’t your thing—no worries at all! But if you do have a few minutes, I’d be so very grateful.
Thanks so much in advance.
