Size and material
250 mm across at true scale, designed for 3 mm Baltic birch or acrylic on a laser; also cardstock on a blade cutter. Enlarge freely; for 3 mm wood do not shrink below about 250 mm
Checked on the files
One connected piece, 2 mm minimum web (2.39 mm narrowest in the pack), still one piece after a 0.1 to 0.3 mm kerf, closed non-overlapping contours, SVG and DXF identical to 0.002 mm
Not claimed
No physical test cut of every design; run a small test cut on your machine and material first

One-piece mandala ornaments for the laser, the Cricut and the Silhouette

60 Designs · One Piece Each · SVG + DXF + PNG · 250 mm True Scale · 2nd Edition

Sixty mandalas from the Pardesco Mandala Maker, ten in each of its six styles, turned into cut files that actually cut: every line of the drawing is a strip of material, every cell between the strips is a cutout, and a solid rim carries the outside edge. Cut the cutouts and the perimeter, the waste drops out, and one connected lace ornament remains.

What was checked, on the files themselves

  • One piece. Each exported SVG and DXF was read back and the material that remains was tested: one outside perimeter, every cutout closed, simple and separate from the others, and the retained material one connected piece. Point contacts and hairline joins do not count as connections.
  • Bridges. No web or bridge narrower than 2 mm (the narrowest in the pack is 2.39 mm), and every design still holds together after a 0.1 to 0.3 mm laser kerf.
  • Clean contours. No open paths, duplicate cuts or overlapping segments; cutouts are at least 2.6 mm across so none are slivers.
  • SVG = DXF. Both describe the same geometry at the same millimetre scale, to within 0.002 mm.

What we have not done is physically cut all sixty. Laser settings and material vary, so run a small test section first.

Formats

  • SVG, 250 mm across on a 254 mm canvas, one compound path filled so Cricut Design Space and Silhouette Studio show the solid ornament, with a hairline stroke for LightBurn, Illustrator and Inkscape.
  • DXF, AutoCAD R2000, millimetre units, one closed polyline per contour on a single CUT layer, at exactly the SVG's coordinates.
  • PNG preview of each design as solid material, plus index.json with every design's cutout count, narrowest web and open area, and a README with the full spec.

Size and material

Designed at 250 mm (about 9.8 in) for 3 mm Baltic birch or acrylic on a CO2 or diode laser: 2.4 mm strips, a 4 mm rim, 2 mm minimum bridges. Enlarge freely. Shrinking thins the strips in proportion, so keep 3 mm wood at about 250 mm or larger; cardstock and paper on a blade cutter tolerate smaller sizes.
