WHAT YOU RECEIVE - 1 Halloween-Lantern.xs project file - A short English assembly and fit guide This is a digital download. No finished lantern, plywood, LED candle, tools, or other physical items are included. SVG, DXF, PDF, and CDR design files are not included. BEFORE YOU PURCHASE The design is supplied as an XS project file. Confirm that your software and version can open .xs files and that your machine is suitable for the material. This is not a universal file for every laser system. MATERIAL AND LIGHTING - Designed for 3 mm plywood; the example uses black walnut plywood. - Check the actual thickness of your sheet before cutting. - Use a battery-operated LED candle only. Do not use a real flame in a wooden lantern. - Choose a light that fits inside the assembled body. ASSEMBLY ORDER 1. Start with the base and assemble the lantern body. 2. Place the LED candle inside. 3. Close the top. FIT AND CUTTING TIPS The joints are intentionally snug. Press the panels together firmly and evenly; do not force one corner. If a joint will not seat, stop and check alignment and fit. Cutting results vary between machines and materials. Test one panel and its mating connection before cutting the full sheet. Adjust the cut settings and fit for your equipment and material as needed. Avoid resizing the entire design without checking the slots: changing the overall scale also changes the joint dimensions.
