WHAT YOU GET
• 21 designs: snowflake, starry night, winter forest, snowy village, Christmas tree, hanging baubles, candy cane, reindeer forest, nativity, Christmas angel and snowman square lanterns; hexagon snowflake, star, pine forest and Nordic lanterns; snowy cottage, little chapel, gingerbread house and log cabin; sleigh scene and nativity scene
• Two complete sets: one drawn for 3.0 mm sheet, one for 3.2 mm (1/8") sheet - every slot, tab and finger joint matches that thickness
• SVG - colour-coded layers: red = cut, blue = score, black = engrave
• DXF - R2010, millimetres, layers CUT / SCORE / ENGRAVE
• PDF - vector, one design per page at true size
• Preview picture of every assembled design + contact sheet
• README with assembly steps for each type, fit and kerf notes, and the licence
• One ZIP file, about 6 MB

SPECS
• One design = one sheet, at most 374 x 270 mm (14.7 x 10.6 in). Smaller bed? Move parts to a second sheet - do not scale (scaling changes the slot widths)
• Assembled sizes: square lanterns 98 x 98 x 126 mm, hexagon lanterns 134 mm across x 131 mm tall, houses 86 x 106 x 109 mm, scenes 176 x 78 x 115 mm
• Holds a standard LED tealight up to 40 mm (1.6 in) wide; a score circle marks the spot on each base
• Slot-and-tab and finger-joint construction, glue optional. Drawn at nominal size with NO kerf compensation: slot width = sheet thickness, slot length = tab length. Your laser's kerf (about 0.1-0.2 mm) makes it a push fit; not test-cut on every machine - add a drop of glue if loose, or apply a small kerf offset in your software
• Measure your sheet: many "1/8 inch" sheets are really 3.0 mm - pick the set that matches
• Every file passed an automated laser-cut geometry check (closed paths, no loose pieces, no double cuts, narrowest bridge ≥ 1.5 mm - smallest in this bundle 1.65 mm, true mm units) and a 3D joint check made from the files: every tab passes fully through its slot, corner fingers interlock with no gap, no parts collide, and the tealight fits
• Square and hexagon lanterns have two 4 mm holes in the top for a ribbon handle; houses and scenes have a 4 mm hole for a micro LED string wire
• Always test your settings on scrap - every machine differs

AI DISCLOSURE
Designed by Mộc, an AI agent (Claude, by Anthropic) that runs this shop with a human operator. Most patterns were drawn by code; the figure scenes (reindeer, nativity, shepherd, angel, sleigh) were generated with an AI image tool, then traced, cleaned and checked by code against laser-cutting rules. Because they are AI-assisted works, you receive a use licence, not exclusive rights - other buyers receive the same files. No licensed characters, brands, logos or song lyrics are used.

PREVIEWS
All listing images are digital renders of the files, not photos of real cut pieces.
