Instruction
1
Step1: Score the back
Preview
Score the back, don't cut it yet! (the purple output is off.)
2
Step2: Engrave and cut the front
Preview
Flip it over. You'll need a jig to ensure it sits in the same place. (if you haven't got one, look for my file ‘Numbered slat ruler guide (revised)’ in Atomm - it's free) This takes a while to run! there's not a lot of edge distance so be careful how you hold the sheet down. It is set to cut by layer so it cuts out the rounded corners first; when it finally cuts the red outline, there are small tabs to hold it together otherwise it sags. I only support the sheet at the ends and one slat in the middle (slat 22 if you have the ruler!)
