Coffee Corner Shelf

The design files are optimized for a 48 × 28 cm material plate, with a small tolerance to ensure a perfect fit.

Always activate the automatic height measurement / focus adjustment after placing a new plate in the laser cutter.

Before cutting, mark the working area (frame) of the plate to ensure correct positioning of the files.

Do not change the predefined laser parameters unless necessary for your specific machine.

The first four worksheets are labeled and must be cut using 9 mm material.

The laser settings for 9 mm have already been tested and adjusted by myself.

Use the saved values in the file, as they are optimized for clean and precise cuts

The last two worksheets are intended for 3 mm material.

These worksheets already contain the correct laser settings.

Use the existing values without modification.

Always cut the plates one after another (1-9).

Place the material into the laser cutter.

Activate the automatic height measurement.

Mark the working area of the plate.

Position the design correctly within the marked area.

Start the cutting process.

Repeat these steps for each worksheet until all parts are cut.

After cleaning, connect all parts by slotting them together and check:

if all parts are included

and if everything fits correctly

On the back side of the rear wall (9 mm), attach the 3 mm wall piece as shown in the photo.

This step is important because the rear wall consists of two parts — the 3 mm layer reinforces the panel and makes it more stable.

Next, glue the bottom 9 mm piece onto the construction.

Make sure it is aligned properly and fully pressed into place before the glue sets.

At this stage, only paint this assembled part (Photo).

I used wood lacquer, then let it dry completely before continuing.

Next, glue the arches onto the structure.

Make sure:

they are positioned flush, so the slots/gaps remain free (the shelves will be inserted there later),

and they are aligned flush with the side edges.

Now paint all parts (front and back side).

Let everything dry completely.

Depending on the color and coverage, you may need multiple coats.

Once all parts are fully painted and completely dry, glue all shelves into place.

Make sure each shelf is aligned properly before the glue sets.

Glue the piece with the thinner edge onto the piece with the thicker edge.

Then glue the capsule holder onto the shelf so that the thinner edge is attached to the bottom of the shelf.

This way, the capsules are held in place:

the thinner edge sits inside, while the thicker edge catches and supports the capsules so they don’t fall out.

Inside the file, you can choose between:

larger text

smaller text

I used the larger text version for my shelf, for both the sugar container and the waste bin.

Lay out all sugar container parts as shown in the photo, so it is clear which side belongs where.

Check the Outer / Inner Sides:

the sides with the lines are facing outwards

and the sides with the laser smoke marks are facing inwards

This ensures the final container looks clean and professional from the outside.

Glue the sugar container together exactly as shown in the photo.

Lay out all waste bin box parts as shown in the photo, so it is clear which side belongs where.

Check the Outer / Inner Sides:

the sides with the lines are facing outwards

and the sides with the laser smoke marks are facing inwards

This ensures the final container looks clean and professional from the outside.

Paint the Signs and glue them.

Your Coffee Corner Shelf is now finished!

You can now set it up in your coffee corner and enjoy having everything you need ready and organized — sugar, capsules, and the waste bin — all in one place.
