Wooden A3 Presentation Folder

thingiverse

Create a unique A3 laser-cut plywood ringbinder using a living hinge for an impressive presentation of your work. For this project, you will need a laser cutter, 3mm or 4mm plywood (dimensions: 1018 x 310 mm), two 3mm diameter by 7-12mm long machine screws and corresponding nuts, and a ringbinder mechanism. This can be purchased online or obtained from an existing plastic ringbinder. To make the folder, start by cutting the plywood to the correct dimensions (slightly larger than 1018 x 310 mm) with the grain of the surface running parallel to the short edge for durability. Next, use the laser cutter to create the living hinge pattern and personalize the folder with etchings such as project details or a quote. Prepare the ringbinder mechanism by either purchasing it online or removing it from an existing plastic folder using a drill to replace rivets. Mark and drill holes in the folder for attaching the mechanism, ensuring accuracy. Finally, attach the mechanism with screws and nuts or pop rivets for a professional finish. Your unique laser-cut plywood ringbinder is now complete!
