Plant Stand
Instruction
This is an easy to make table/pant stand
The first step is inserting a circle, and I made my circle 120mm wide for my smaller plant.
Now, we need to make the hole for the base legs. I made the hole 3.2mm for my 3 mm plywood. Then, I copied and pasted my design and tried to make them 10 mm apart. To do this, I had each hole by 3.2mmx10mm, then moved them apart using the arrow keys until they were 10 mm apart.
Now it's time to make a circular array to get three legs, so I selected both holes and then the circular array function and set it to 3 copies. Please note that you need to ungroup the whole shape and delete the larger circle two times, or the laser will go over for how many copies you have.
Now, we will start making the legs. I made a rectangle that covered both holes and went to the edge of the shape. How ever wide you make this rectangle will depend on how tall your plant holder is. Ensure you unlink the H and the W. Then I selected both holes and copied and pasted them. Using the magnetic snap of XCS2.0, I moved both the rectangle and the copies of the holes outside of the circle. This will be our leg. Now select the whole Leg and click combined to make the leg shape.
Now, we will insert a pill shape. Make it rather big, as this will add shape to our legs. Select both the leg and the pill shape and click the Subtract tool. Now it's time to choose the leg and click CTRL+C, then click CTRL+V to make three copies. Then you are good to cut, make sure that you have your laser safe glasses on and that you deleted the extra circles if you did not re-read step 3 THIS IS IMPORTANT.
Now, all you need to do is glue the legs to the table/plant stand
