Nice set of files, Pete. Thanks for sharing.

In case it helps others, I ran the parts through Deepnest for about 10 minutes and here is the optimized/nested file it came up with after specifing a 2 mm gap between parts.

Thanks Doug

Thanks for these files guys.

I downloaded Doug's and cut and assembled one out of MDF for a friend who's a French teacher. She's well pleased and now two of her colleagues want one as well! Something about laser work that when people see it they decide they want one as well isn't there?

Hey Pete, the towers look awesome !

Just wanted to ask if they are colored before assembling or after.

After - see third to last pic

O. Yeah. How did I miss it

I have a chinese 50watt. My bed is 12"x20". How big are these?
What size ply are they designed for?
Sorry if I ask elementary questions. I am new to lasers and don't have any experience using patterns such as this. My grandkids went to Paris last year and I'd like to make them each one of these.

I downloaded these a while ago and have just checked my copy. The longest section is about 270mm and the widest is about 140mm. I could be mistaken but I don't think I resized the originals so you should be OK on your machine. 3mm thickness if I remember correctly. They work beautifully and are easily assembled. I don't know your grandkids ages but if they're about 7-12 I'd think they'd love helping you assemble and paint them.

You can size them any size you wish -you don't have to use the files as sized. They are easily scaled to a different size.
