Default Laser-cut kit

I am building my first laser-cut kit. Is there any suggestions for buiding this type of kit compared to a die-cut kit?

What are you doing over here? LOL!!

You'll find the parts fit is a lot better, some pieces you can assemble and then glue the whole thing at once.

...other than that, it's the same as die-cut.

Be sure to schedule a facial massage. You'll need it after you start building. Smiling all day can really strain the facial muscles.

The only downside to a laser cut kit is the burned edges of the pieces. Should you want to go with a light colored covering the edges do need to be sanded a slight bit. That is a touchy situation as you can change the shape of the part easily if you aren't VERY careful. Other than that I can't think of anything bad about laser cutting...the fits are VERY precise.
