Information

      In this project I wanted to represent love in different "layers". There's no particular memory that inspired me to create this Valentine's gift, just the manifestation of love in forms and shapes.

Size: 30x30cm (12x12in) - resize to any other size that suits yoy

Material suggestion: MDF, Plywood or Acrylic.

Instruction

Step1: Select / Prepare your material

Preview

Sand/paint/stain your material if needed, and clean the surface before processing.

I had some 30x30cm (12x12in) painted MDF, so that's what i used. You can use any other material you have available, some suggestions: acrylic with different colours, different plywood types or stains.

Step2: Cut / Score all layers

If you don't want to score/engrave the 2nd layer, just delete it or disable the output

*Tip: After cutting the Bottom (4th layer) keep the overcut inside the machine and just flip the material to score the hanger position on the back (much easier than trying to align later).

Select the Bottom back (4th layer) and position over the Bottom (4th layer)
Delete the Bottom (4th layer) and the inverted layer used for positioning, or simply disable the output of the elements
Score the hanger position

Step3: Gluing

Preview

Clear the scorching marks in the front and back of the pieces before gluing
Use the needed / preferable glue for your material (in my case a wood glue)
The inside of the letter "O" needs to be glued separately as this is the only part not attached to the main design
Let it dry
