Project instructions
Step 1. Get your materials ready - Plywood: Choose stains or dyes to be applied after laser cutting to enhance the natural wood texture. I decided to leave the plywood as is. Step 2. Access and prepare the design files - download the design file via the provided source link found on the project page. - Unzip the file to access the SVG. - Load the SVG into your laser cutting software. - Don't resize the wine box. Step 3. Set laser parameters for cutting - 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. Begin cutting the project - Position your material securely on the laser bed. - Run the cutting processes for all required pieces. Step 5. Clean and prepare pieces after cutting - For Plywood: Wipe smoke marks away with a slightly damp rag. Apply the wood stain or dye. Step 6. Put the layers together - Use appropriate adhesives: - Wood Glue for plywood - I used something stretchy to wrap around the case. You’ve now completed Snowflake Charm: The Wine Case! Take pride in the result and enjoy showing it off.
