Lasercut Boxing Kangaroo Toys

Hi!

This is an instructable on the boxing kangaroo toys that I made!
This is my first instructable so if anything is unclear or you have any questions feel free to ask.

It is a fairly simple build but does require the use of a laser cutter.

Supplies:
1/4" thick Acrylic Sheet (at least 12"x18")
3/16" diameter Aluminum tubes
2 small washers that fit the aluminum tubes
Rubberbands (optional)
I included the .pdf  template

Tools:
Saw (to cut the aluminum tubes, preferably a jewelry saw or one with fine teeth for cleaner cuts)
Dapping punch
Ball-peen hammer

I buy my acrylic from here it also has some other cool materials on that site. 
Aluminum tubes can be found at most hobby stores or online.

Step 1: Lasering & Preparing Pieces

Laser cut out all the pieces using the template, I happened to have community fabrication lab that in my neighborhood with reasonable prices so I was lucky. I was using an Epilog Mini 24

You should end up with 4 body pieces, 2 hands, 4 front wheels (the bigger ones), 4 smaller back wheels, and 4 arm pieces.

Once cut just pop out the little holes and peel off the paper if there is any.
