Clear assembly instructions
Step 1. Prepare materials before starting - Plywood: Choose stains or dyes to be applied after laser cutting to enhance the natural wood texture. Step 2. Prepare the design file for laser cutting - use the source link to download the design file listed on the project page. - Unzip the file to access the SVG. - Load the SVG into your laser cutting software. Step 3. Prepare laser cutter settings - Adjust the design size to fit your chosen material dimensions. - Set the appropriate laser parameters: - Cut: Specify power and speed for clean cuts. - Check your laser cutter’s documentation for material-specific parameters. Step 4. Start cutting the design - Place the material correctly on the laser bed. - Run the cutting processes for all required pieces. Step 5. Clean up after laser cutting - For Plywood: Wipe smoke marks away with a slightly damp rag. Apply the wood stain or dye. Step 6. Secure and assemble all layers - Use appropriate adhesives: - Wood Glue for plywood. Clamp two layers at a time until the artwork is complete. - 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 The Force of Creativity: Star Wars in 3D! Your project is complete and ready to be enjoyed.
