How-to guide
Step 1. Prepare all materials for cutting - Acrylic: Choose the acrylic colours and use a protective film if required. - MDF: Prepare MDF by painting it with a white undercoat and selecting paint colours 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. Access and prepare the design files - retrieve the design file using the source link located on the project page. - Unzip the file to access the SVG. - Load the SVG into your laser cutting software. Step 3. Configure 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. - Consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for settings specific to each material. Step 4. Laser cut all design layers - Place your chosen material onto the laser bed surface. - Run the cutting process. Step 5. Complete finishing after cutting - 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. Complete the assembly process - Align the layers carefully to ensure proper alignment of the design. - Use appropriate adhesives: - Acrylic Adhesive for acrylic. - Wood Glue for MDF or plywood. - Use clamps to secure the layers while the adhesive dries. When joining the front layers, placing a heavy object on top than using clamps may be more manageable. - For MDF and plywood, use a gloss spray to enhance and protect the artwork. Step 7. Prepare the finished design for display - Attach a hanging mechanism, such as adhesive strips, to the back of the artwork. - Verify that the mechanism is suitable for the wall surface. Great work completing Moonlit Tree Serenade! Hang it in your chosen spot and enjoy the finished piece.
