Step1: Step-by-Step guide

“DAD” Layered Photo Frame

1. Prepare the Design Files

  • You should have:
    • Front “DAD” outline layer
    • Solid backing layer
    • Base stand with slot
  • Check alignment and sizing before cutting.
  • Recommended material: 6 mm plywood.

2. Laser Cut the Parts

Use the following xTool P2 settings for 6 mm plywood:

  • Power: 100%
  • Speed: 10 mm/s
  • Passes: 1
  • Air Assist: ON

Cut:

  • 1 × front outline layer
  • 1 × solid backing layer
  • 1 × base stand

After cutting:

  • Remove masking if used
  • Lightly sand edges to remove burn marks

3. Paint and Finish

Colour the layers to your liking.

Suggested style:

  • Front outline layer → blue
  • Back layer → white or natural wood
  • Base → dark walnut or black

Tips:

  • Spray paint gives the cleanest finish
  • Allow paint to fully dry before assembly
  • Optional: apply clear varnish for protection

4. Add the Photos

  • Print two circular photos sized to fit inside the “D” openings.
  • Glue or tape the photos onto the solid backing layer from the front or rear.
  • Make sure the images are cantered inside each letter opening.

5. Assemble the Display

  • Glue the front outline layer onto the backing layer.
  • Align carefully so the photo openings match perfectly.
  • Insert the finished piece into the slotted base stand.
  • Ensure the frame stands upright evenly.

Your personalised freestanding “DAD” photo frame is now complete and ready for display or gifting.
