01 /The design
Three cats inside a paw-print rim.
Two cats sit across the lower part of the face while a third looks over them from above. Small paw prints mark the outer ring. The original renders show the face from the side and the four layers separated.
The approximate size is 290 × 290 mm. Files are prepared for 3 mm and 1/8-inch plywood, MDF or acrylic, with PDF assembly instructions and recommendations for the clock mechanism.

02 /At your workbench
Choose your material.Make it fit.
Check the detail.
Inspect the smallest bridges and fine cutouts at your chosen size. Cut a small sample before committing a full sheet.
Keep the layers aligned.
Use the same scale for every layer. Check the design against your laser’s usable work area before cutting.
Stack in order.
Arrange the cut layers in order and check their alignment before fixing them together.
Plan this build.
Read the mechanism recommendations before choosing hardware. Check the centre hole, total stack and hand clearance, and test a detailed cut before preparing the complete face. If resizing, check the hole separately.
At the 3 mm material scale, no individual part exceeds 290 mm. This refers to one part, not the assembled model or the whole cutting layout. Rescaling changes that limit.

Are the clock movement and hands included?
No. The download contains the clock-face designs and PDF instructions with mechanism recommendations. Source the movement and hands separately and check their fit before assembly.
What do I receive?
SVG, DXF, AI and CDR design files with PDF assembly instructions and clock mechanism recommendations. Versions for 3 mm and 1/8-inch plywood, MDF or acrylic are supplied. No clock movement, hands, physical clock or material is included.
Can I change the scale?
Scale every layer equally, then check the centre hole and your chosen clock movement separately. Resizing changes the artwork and stack dimensions; confirm the mechanism fit and hand clearance before cutting.
Can I use the design commercially?
