How to Use the 3D House Maker
Step 1 – Start With a House Style
Open the maker and choose a house style or starting design that fits the type of project you want to create.
Think about whether you’re making a simple cottage, farmhouse, traditional home, seasonal house or decorative miniature building.
Step 2 – Customize Your House
Experiment with the available house elements and settings.
Depending on your design, you may work with features such as the walls, roof, windows, doors and decorative details.
Try different combinations until the overall shape suits your project.
Step 3 – Check the Design
Review your house before preparing it for cutting.
Pay particular attention to small details. Very thin sections may be difficult to cut from some materials, especially when the entire house is scaled down.
Step 4 – Choose Your Material and Size
Decide how large you want your finished house to be and which material you’ll use.
Common laser crafting materials include:
- MDF
- Plywood
- Basswood
- Craft wood
- Acrylic
Always consider material thickness when creating dimensional projects.
Step 5 – Prepare Your Cutting File
When you’re happy with your design, use the available download or export option to prepare it for your preferred cutting workflow.
Before cutting, open the design in your laser software and confirm its dimensions.
Step 6 – Cut and Assemble
Cut the required pieces with your laser machine.
Dry-fit the pieces before permanently attaching them. This allows you to identify any positioning or assembly issues before using glue.
Once everything fits correctly, assemble the house and decorate it however you like.
Step 7 – Make It Your Own
Finish your project using paint, stain, engraving, decorative lettering or additional laser-cut elements.
You can also create multiple houses in different sizes and styles to build an entire miniature village.
