Questions
Which bulb should I use?
LED bulbs only. They stay cool, while an incandescent bulb can scorch the wood.
What material and thickness should I use?
Use 1/8" (3 mm) birch plywood, basswood plywood or MDF. Measure the real thickness with calipers and enter it under Material, laser and sheet, because the joints are calculated from it.
Which software opens the files?
The SVG opens in LightBurn, xTool Creative Space, Glowforge, Inkscape and Illustrator. The DXF opens in most CAD and CAM programs. The sizes are real, so nothing needs scaling.
