Summary

These versatile laser cut squares make building boxes or frames a breeze. Simply cut out of 3mm wood or acrylic and glue! The recessed middle is perfect for tension by rubber band, create four and square the corners of your entire project in one go. Can also be used for squaring inside corners.

The Sketchup file is included if you need different sized squares or wish to adjust for different thicknesses of stock. Have also included a DXF that makes it easy to import into your laser cutter software. Just mind the cut order, I've paired up the cuts into two groups. An inner cutting group and an outer cutting group that drops the pieces in a tidy order.

Building

One of the inner supports is a little bigger to overlap the corner. Round down this corner with sandpaper before you build the square for an edge that's gentile on your rubber bands.
