Laser-Cut Wooden
Easter Eggcup
We have designed a charming Easter decoration for you: An eggcup made from wood in the shape of an Easter Bunny. The cart is used for holding the egg. We used alder wood for making the eggcup. But it will also work with conventional plywood; ideally use poplar plywood for laser cutting.

Step 1:
Open the "Easter bunny" file and send it to the laser. Start the engraving and cutting process with the power and speed parameters indicated below. (Obviously, these parameters might vary depending on what Trotec laser solution you are using and its available laser power.)
Black (engraving) - power: 25%, speed: 10%, frequency: 500dpi, Air assist on
Red (cutting) - power: 60%, speed: 1%, frequency: 1000Hz, Air assist on, correction: 10
