Instructions and Process
1️⃣ Preparation
Secure a 3 mm basewood plywood sheet on your laser bed.
Optionally apply masking tape to protect the surface from burn marks.
Import the pumpkin SVG/DXF design into your software (xTool Creative Space / LightBurn).
2️⃣ Cutting
Set the layer type to Cut.
Apply the parameters above.
Start the cutting process and ensure air assist is active for clean edges.
3️⃣ Finishing
Gently remove the finished cutout from the bed.
Sand any small burrs if needed.
Optional painting: Spray-paint the pumpkin black using matte acrylic paint for a striking Halloween look.
You can also paint the inner pumpkin orange and leave the outer layer black for more contrast.
