- The Psychedelic mandala guitar laser cutting Creation is a wall artwork.
- A creative gift idea for all ages.
- This design is created using MDF or plywood.
- It is an an intermediate Creation, and I expect it should be completed in 4 hours for MDF and 3.25 hours for plywood .
However, the time required for completion will depend on the laser cutter you use, the size of the design, and your skill level. If you feel the completion time should be adjusted, feel free to let me know via a comment below.

Simple step-by-step guide
Step 1. Get materials prepared for the project - 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. Set up the project design files - retrieve the design file using the source link supplied on the project page. - Unzip the file to access the SVG. - Load the SVG into your laser cutting software. Step 3. Adjust laser settings as required - Adjust the design size to fit your chosen material dimensions. - Set the appropriate laser parameters: - Cut: Specify power and speed for clean cuts. - Refer to your laser cutter’s guidelines for material-specific settings. Step 4. Cut the design using the laser cutter - Lay the material flat on the laser bed. - Run the cutting process for all required layers. - Ensure that the layers align correctly as they are cut. Step 5. Complete post-cut finishing - For MDF: Wipe smoke marks away with a slightly damp rag. Paint the layers with your chosen colours. Spray paint is preferable to canned paint. - For Plywood: Wipe smoke marks away with a slightly damp rag. Apply the wood stain or dye. Step 6. Carefully assemble the design - Align the layers carefully to ensure proper alignment of the design. - Use appropriate adhesives: - Wood Glue for MDF or plywood. - Use clamps to secure the layers while the adhesive dries. - 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. That’s it — you’ve completed Psychedelic mandala guitar! Find the perfect place to display it and enjoy the final outcome.
