Started playing with these this week. I can’t seem to get the X-Wing together without something breaking. It seems like the cuts aren’t quite the right size. The Tie goes together without a problem.

I’m trying it out right now. Did you follow the instructions in the PDF? The blue lines need to be set to score and the red lines need to be set to engrave.
Here is the link to the thingiverse page with all the files.

Looks like I had the same issue you did with the X-Wing. I’ve modified the file slightly, I’m going to try it again.
still breaking, I see. That is a nice effect, though.

I made this; as my first acrylic cut. Acrylic gives me a headache even the day after (next to GF).
models were great, printed on 1/8" proof grade. Weeded using fingernails, and Silhouette weeding tools.
I forgot to re-order, this meant it CUT before engraving. I got away with it, but only just.
The wings were loose. I applied some old KRAGL I had lying around, but it didn’t seem to bond it. Perhaps KRAGL is not cyanoacetate.

Big points for the KRAGL reference

Hi, sorry for replying so late…been soooooo busy with other stuff that i haven’t been on for months…
Plywood won’t work, cause the layers separate. Did you use the file I uploaded, or the original one on their site? Their original leaves too much attached, imo, hard to separate without breaking…
I used your version, I’m pretty sure, for exactly the reasons you mention.
I used medium proofgrade draftboard and it was so hard to get the square pegs into the square openings, I kept breaking things. Are you guys cutting down with a razor-blade or something?
I only used acrylic or wood…
