Step 1) Starting with a few shapes of these animals I used the combine feature to unite them with a base to be mounted.
Step 2) Once the 3 different animals were united with bases I proceeded to add small holes for mounting and this way there would be no drilling the acrylic. I first added the small hole sized for a small screw, once I had this I copied and pasted the hole and placed it in the corners of the base. because all three of these were very close to the same O grouped the 2 holes by selecting one of them and while holding the shift key on the keyboard I selected the second one and went with group. I then copied the 2 holes together and pasted them on the other 2 animals so they all had the holes.
Step 3) once this was all done I grouped all 2 animals by selecting over them and right clicking and picking group. Now that they were grouped I set the settings this was easy because all of the cuts needed were going to be all the same. I used XCS pre-set settings for 3mm Acrylic which is 100% power 2mm/s Speed and 2 passes. these setting seems to be on point for this acrylic and it cuts it clean. I do however use an Acrylic sheet then comes with a paper type film on each side for protection. I remove one side of this film and place it on the underside while cutting.
Step 4) once all the cuts were complete and the paper film was removed I mounted them with small little wood screws, I took pictures at night once mounted on the top edge of the fence just to give it a mysterious vibe like you get when you see these creatures at night.
