Thanks for the great instructable. I just purchased a 4000-LED roll of SMDs, so this is very helpful. Do SMDs need to have a heatsink? I would like to make a small desk lamp, using perhaps 3 white SMD 5730s.

Thanks for the great idea and for sharing the files!I am using this today for our school STEAM Club, co-curricular (after school) activity. Because I needed to make 24 of these, I moved parts together and deleted the extra cut lines where lines were on top of each other. The first file (with six on a 12" x 24" piece of 2.5mm plywood) took 54 minutes to cut out. By eliminating the extra cutting, the cut time was reduced to 49 minutes, saving 20 minutes total. I have found the bit of extra time to move items together and then delete one of the overlapping lines is far worth the effort, especially when cutting multiple items.Cut out on a Epilog Helix Laser 50 watt. Settings for 2.5mm plywood: 100 P, 10 S, 400 F.
