Step1: Idea and first steps for design

All animals are from the XCS library

  1. Added all animals to my workarea and resized them to max 30mm height
  2. Then I selected the first and added an outline with 2.5mm
  3. I double clicked to get into node mode to delete all points that are inside

Step2: Add connector

To make it easier to connect the cute animal to a base I added 10mm in width and height 1.9 as my pluwood is 2mm in thickness. 

Just select the created outline and the rectangle and use connect to create one solid cut shape.

Step3: Baseplate & duplicate

For the baseplate I created a circle and made 2 rectangles: 

Width = 9.9 mm

Height = 1.9 mm

This way I get a good tight fit for my wood. So please fix for yours 


The gap in between is about 1mm you can make it thinner when using light paper.


Select all pieces and substract the rectangles from the circle. 

Now duplicate your animals and I flipped them horizontally.

These are my parameters, I please change to make it fit your material. 

Air assist engrave = very low

Air assist cut = bit lower than half

Filter = all time a bit more than low

This one was so simple and quickly made I’m still shocked. I still think these are way to cute but going to create many more for all my lovely memories!


I hope you have fun with this and create some fun or cute holders as well!  ~ Anzy
