Information

      This project is fairly easy to put together the trick is cutting it without starting a fire!!
I used two different settings because one setting allows simple items to be cut and the other setting allows detailed items to be cut.
Cutting paper with the lazer I used "Score" and low settings.  When cutting paper this way your paper is subject to some "soot" gathering along the cut edges.  I don't have air assist so I just change the power settings, speed and amount of runs to cut the project out properly.
The first image has detailed objects so settings were 90% - 25s - 2 passes then the second image is just a base and a few cuts, 100%/20s/1 pass
I also want to mention this was on a 2.5mm grid (not a 3mm prism) so like I said, you have a lot of factors to deal with.  Test before you cut.
You'll notice on the finished product, when the lights are off and it's lit with a tealight, the lamp looks incredible!!
