Hello everyone, these are the steps I took to create my laser cut box!

I first started this process by downloading the .ai file for a kerf box. I imported the file into adobe illustrator and sent the file to print in the laser cutter.

Once the kerf box was cut out, I grabbed a calibrator and inserted it in-between the cut pieces of wood to measure the kerf of the laser cutter. I was able to get a measurement of 0.006 inches for my kerf value.

After obtaining the kerf value, I added it into en.makercase.com website to develop a 4x4x4 inch box.

I then downloaded the file for the box and imported the file into Inkscape. I added all of the important information like my name and college crest. I then imported it into adobe illustrator, where it was edited to be ready for printing.

I then sent the file to print into the laser cutter and was able to get my final product.
