The Cape Crusader laser cutting project is a wall artwork.
Suitable as a gift for children.
The project uses acrylic .
It is an an easy project, and I estimate the project can be completed in 2 hours for acrylic. However, your completion time will depend on the laser cutter, the dimensions of the project and your skill level. If you think my time estimates need adjustment, please feel free to let me know via a comment below.
The free design can be downloaded here. (please notify me if the link is down)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Materials
- Acrylic: Choose the acrylic colours and use a protective film if required.
2. Prepare the Design File
- Download the design file from the source link provided on the project page.
- Unzip the file to access the SVG.
- Load the SVG into your laser cutting software.
3. Set Up the Laser Cutter
- Adjust the design size to fit your chosen material dimensions.
- Set the appropriate laser parameters:
- Cut: Specify power and speed for clean cuts.
- For the material-specific settings, refer to your laser cutter’s guidelines.
4. Use the Laser Cutter

5. Following Laser Cutting
- For Acrylic: Remove any protective film from the material after cutting.
6. Assemble the Layers
- Align the two layers carefully to ensure proper alignment of the design.
- Use appropriate adhesives:
- Acrylic Adhesive for acrylic.
- Use clamps to secure the layers while the adhesive dries. Placing a heavy object on top than using clamps may be more manageable.
7. Prepare for Wall Mounting

- Verify that the mechanism is suitable for the wall surface.
