STEP 1 - Sowing the seeds:

Download the supplied DXF file for your laser cutter and then go to town. Etch and cut the stand and the flower elements from their respective acrylic colours.

STEP 2 - Attach the base:

Using the short 6mm M3 countersunk screws attach the board to the base layer and build the rest of the base elements around the board, making sure you have access to the USB connection and the on/off button. Attach the whole base unit together using the 4 12mm M3 pan head screws.
