Information
      In between bites, rest your chopsticks on the panda chopstick rests and keep your table clean.  I cut my pieces on a P2, but other lasers can be used.  The panda artwork is created using an AI Art Generator.
    
Instruction

Step1: Cut the pieces using the provided XCS file.

Detailed instructions are included in the XCS File.  There are separate tabs for 3mm and 5.3mm material thickness.  

You should have four pieces as shown in the image after cutting.  

I included scoring settings as well in case you want to hand paint the pandas, but the pieces are small so it can be difficult to paint some of the details.  I included examples of engraved and scored+colored in step 3.

Step2: Clean Surfaces with Distilled White Vinegar

Apply some distilled white vinegar on a paper towel and wipe down surfaces.

Step3: Assemble Chopstick Rests

Insert the pandas into the bases.  It should be a tight fit with no glue needed.  The bases are identical.  

 

If it does not fit, you may need to adjust the slot size.  The kerf is dependent on cut settings, material and material thickness.
