Coffee Bar Wall Sign with Backlight
Coffee Décor Contest 
Instruction
Information
This coffee bar sign is a decorative wall piece for a coffee corner and can optionally be illuminated with a small LED light chain. It is made from MDF and produced using a laser cutter.
Instruction
Step1: Material Preparation
You can either use black and white MDF or plain MDF. If you use plain MDF, paint it black and white before cutting and let it dry completely.
Step2: Laser Cutter Setup
Set the material thickness to three millimeters, activate the automatic material measurement and adjust the frame to the size of your MDF sheet.
Step3: Cut the Black Base Plate
Start by cutting the black MDF, which will be the bottom plate. The design is engraved and cut so that guide lines for the letters and coffee beans are visible. Activate automatic material measurement and set the frame and laser all parts. If the part is not fully cut through, especially with black MDF, repeat the laser process. Clean the edges after cutting.
Step4: Cut the White Elements
Open the second workspace, activate automatic material measurement again, set the frame and laser all white parts. Repeat the cut if any pieces are not fully separated.
Step5: Assemble the Front Design
Glue the letters and coffee beans onto the black plate using the engraved guide lines, then glue the frame around the design and let it dry.
Step6: Build the Back Spacers
Glue the rectangular spacer pieces in pairs, one pair aligned and one pair slightly offset at the top. This offset allows the sign to hang on a screw and creates space for the LED light chain. If a thicker light chain (the thickest part of my LED light chain measures six millimeters, thats why I glued 3 mm two times on the back) is used, add more layers.
Step7: Attach the Back Construction
Glue the spacer construction onto the back of the sign, with the offset part at the top and the aligned part at the bottom.
Step8: Add Holder Pieces
Glue the small white holder pieces on the left and right sides of the back so the light chain stays in place.
There are four smaller pieces and four larger pieces. The larger pieces are glued on top of the smaller ones so that they stick out at the top, creating a gap for the light chain.
Step9: Install the Light Chain
Fix the battery box at the top with tape so it can be removed later, then wrap the light chain evenly around the back of the sign.
The coffee bar wall sign is now finished and ready to hang.
Step10: Enjoy!
