I downloaded a trial of Illustrator and made the following files from the 1.1 eps: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/c12zu33fnrod59c/AAAW-dGtLIyJL_ZhqLe58ZqLa?dl=0
It would be great if the project produced these as well as part of their normal publishing process.
There is a laser cutter at my work that we're allowed to use, but it has barely-usable, proprietary software on it. It takes PDFs and uses some crazy heuristics to distinguish vector/raster, and it always gets it wrong. Thus, the experience is:
Ideally, we'd instead have four EPS files, each representing a different type of material, and each at origin (0, 0).
Think of a user who doesn't have Adobe Illustrator (expensive), and where the online time is precious (because manually disabling vector objects is done on the same scarce machine as the laser cutter, so it's not practical to book just the cutting time on the shared laser cutter). From that perspective, the four EPS files is a more natural way to publish this project.
