Build guide
Step 1. Get materials prepared for the project - Acrylic: Choose the acrylic colour and use a protective film if required. - MDF: Prepare MDF by painting it with a white undercoat and selecting a paint colour to finish after the laser cutting. - Plywood: Choose stains or dyes to be applied after laser cutting to enhance the natural wood texture. Step 2. Prepare design files for cutting - download the design file using the source link included on the project page. - Unzip the file to access the SVG. - Load the SVG into your laser cutting software. Step 3. Set laser parameters for cutting - Adjust the design size to fit your chosen material dimensions. - Set the appropriate laser parameters: - Cut: Specify power and speed for clean cuts. - Use your laser cutter’s guidelines to determine material-specific settings. Step 4. Proceed with laser cutting - Position your material securely on the laser bed. - Run the cutting process. Step 5. Clean and finish the cut pieces - For MDF: Use a damp cloth to remove smoke marks. Paint the layers once clean. Spray paint gives the best finish. - For Plywood: Clean smoke residue with a damp rag, then apply stain or dye. - For Acrylic: Remove protective film after cutting. Step 6. Put the layers together - Attach a hanging mechanism, such as adhesive strips, to the back of the artwork. - Verify that the mechanism is suitable for the wall surface. With the final step done, you’ve completed Abstract Femme Fatale! Your project is complete and ready to be enjoyed.
