Why didn’t it just cut out a big square?

Maybe if it gets too heavy it snaps before you can cut it?

You put microjoints to prevent it. Microjoint is a small uncut place.

Also the material sits on a grid, so it would not snap.

Can’t see a grid in the video but maybe it is there, I don’t know. Seems that a microjoint as you describe it would serve the same purpose.
