Instruction

Step1: XCS file

Preview

Open the “.xcs” file in xTool Creative Space. There are two workspace

Foreground
which contains all three designs on one sheet
Background
which contains three backsides

Step2: Laser cut

Preview

Place your material in your device and adjust your cutting settings based on the material and device used.

For my 20W M1 Ultra in combination with 4mm poplar plywood, I used a power setting of 85 and a speed of 5 for cutting.

Material

4mm Poplar plywood [Hornbach.de, Amazon.de*]

Step3: Glue together

Preview

All pieces can be easily glued together. To do so, make sure to apply some glue to the border as well as the overlapping parts.

Material

Wood glue [Hornbach.de, Amazon.de*]

Step4: [Optional] Paint

Preview

It's time to be creative - painting each piece.

I used waterproof pencils doing so which yielded best results. Alternatively a stain on the background can elevate the foreground shapes even further too.

Material

Waterproof pencils [Amazon.de*]

Step5: Enjoy

I hope you liked the project :) and wish you all happy eastern!
