CUT

Import the included files and cut all the pieces from their respective materials. This file contains vector cuts, vector markings.

 Instructions 

1. The first step you will need to take for this project is to assemble the pieces, if applicable. There are very few pieces, and for the horns, the pieces are notched and numbered for your ease.

2. The bunny ears need no assembly when it comes to the laser-cut parts.

3. One trick you can do with the bunny ears is to use a deep vector marking with the center line and push it in to create a little depth.

4. Now, simply hot glue the cardboard cutout to a headband.

5. Viola! Add it to a mask or any other costume accessory to complete your last-minute costume.

CUT

Import the included files and cut all the pieces from their respective materials. This file contains vector cuts, vector markings.

 Instructions

1. Before cutting you will want to make sure that the vector markings go against the grain of the cardboard. It should look like this after being done.

2. Next you will want to roll it into a tube and hot glue the seam together like so.

3. Then you will want to take the tube and make it flush with the circle cutout and hot glue around the circle's edge where it meets the tube walls. 

4. Last but not least you will hot glue the brim to the rest of the hat. There is a vector mark to show you where to run your bead of hot glue so no worries on getting this part uneven.

5. You can make all three or modify any of these existing designs to your size and desire.

CUT

Import the included files and cut all the pieces from their respective materials. This file contains vector cuts, vector markings, and rasters.

Instructions 

1. First, we will want to start on stacking and gluing the pieces we need to.

2. Remember, you can use any ⅛’ material for this project. We mixed and matched from scrap material.

3. These, too, will need to be stacked and glued.

4. The last piece to be stacked and glued together is the handle.

5. Now, place the HIGH VOLTAGE engraved piece on top of the main backing but do not glue this in place. Simply line up the center cut-out rectangles.

6. Then you will want to glue the doubled-up rounded topside brackets into place. Make sure that the on and off sides are both facing the same direction.

7. Carefully glue the side gear rails on either side. Make sure that each side is even before allowing the glue to set.

8. Time to cut some dowels. Four 1-inch dowels will be needed.

9. Once we have the dowels, we can start with the bottom gears.

10. Set the dowel center so that the end cap nuts can be glued in place. The gears themselves should be glued to the dowel when they are in the proper position.

11. We can move to the top dowel now.

12. The top dowel will have the geared arm glued to the dowel and capped with the nut. These should be glued in place well. Leave just a little bit of the dowel sticking out on the outer side. This whole process should be repeated on the other side before moving on.

13. Now that you have both sides done, you will want to glue the handle in place along with the arrow indicator. Before gluing, make sure that both the handle and the arrow are sticking straight up while the sliding gear mechanism is straight and even.

14. The last assembly set is to glue the square cutout to the bottom of the main backplate.

15. We really Frankensteined this together with our scrap material. So now it’s time to paint it. 

16. We painted the switch plate with a Hammer metallic paint to give it that distressed metal look.

17. Simply remove your old switch plate and mount the new one on top. We used double-sided sticky tape to mount it temporarily. But you could easily drill this to the wall on each corner to make this a permanent fixture.

CUT

Import the included files and cut all the pieces from their respective materials. This file contains vector cuts,and rasters.

1. This project file will come with 1 main body, 4 legs, and 2 brackets.

2. First you will want to glue the top bracket in place.

3. Next you can simply put the bottom bracket into it’s designated holes. At this point we will not glue it yet. Now we can start adding the legs.

4. Start with the top tab of the leg and insert it into the top bracket. Then insert the bottom tab of the leg into the corresponding hole in the bottom bracket.

5. Continue this for all the rest of the legs. Since the bottom bracket is not glued in place yet, you have some wiggle room to set each legs tab into place.

6. Once all legs are into place you can turn the project around and add some super glue to the bottom bracket via the notch holes.

7. Now its ready to mount on your wall.

8. This project file will come with 1 main body, 4 legs, and 2 brackets.

CUT

Import the included files and cut all the pieces from their respective materials. This file contains vector cuts, vector markings.

  Instructions

1. After all the pieces have been vector marked and vector cut you will want to set aside the main body of the Draw Buddy aside.

2. Now you can focus on the assembly of the Draw Buddy base.

3. When starting to assemble the base you will want to locate three pieces this shape.

4. Take these three pieces and notch them into the three bottom notches on the large base pieces. These can be set in place with a small dab of superglue.

5. Now you can put the last cross member in the top notches.

6. Finally add the side brackets. These are both made up of two pieces that slot together and then go into the T shaped cut outs on the side of your main base pieces. Some superglue should be added for a strong bond.

7. Now you have places to store your dry erase markers with your draw buddy.

8. Now be creative and have fun!

 Instructions

1. This Project is very simple as it only has 3 cut out pieces.

2. It has holes for hanging on a wall. It also has a holder for the two most common dry erase marker sizes.

3. To assemble this holder, simply notch the two small pieces together. Once they are together you can notch them into the main grocery list T cut. Super Glue will need to be used to set this in place.

4. Now you have a nice place to hold your marker. If you don’t want to lose your marker, simply tie a string to it and the hole next to the marker bracket.

CUT

(Import the included files and cut all the pieces from their respective materials. This file contains vector cuts.

 Instructions

1. For this project, we used Flamingo Colorhues Acrylic by Rowmark. First, you will want to start with these two pieces.

2. Notch the first two pieces together down the center notch of the one piece.

3. Repeat this for the other similar shaped piece.

4. Remember that this penholder is almost a sphere and that the pieces are larger towards the center.

5. This smaller 3-notched piece can now be put in place.

6. Three pieces left!

7. Now you can notch the smaller 2-notch circles on either side.

CUT

Import the included files and cut all the pieces from their respective materials. This file contains vector cuts, vector markings, and rasters.

Instructions 

1. If you want good contrast on your engravings, you can mask your wood prior to engraving and paint afterwards.

2. By leaving the masking on your wood, the engraving makes a great stencil to be painted over. The best way to keep the paint from running is to use light coats and the right paint. We suggest rubberized spray paint as it works best.

3.  After removing the masking, you can see the contrast!
