Step 2. Ready the design file for cutting - download the design file using the source link shown 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. - Refer to the laser cutter manual for recommended material settings.

Step 5. Clean and prepare pieces after cutting - For MDF: Wipe smoke marks away with a slightly damp rag. Paint the layers with your chosen colours.
