A warm greeting for the threshold
A sunrise at the door
Sunward Welcome is a front door sign SVG for making a round plywood plaque with a rising sun, a low horizon and a bold WELCOME. The circular profile gives the scene a clear edge and suits a doorway, entry wall or sheltered porch.
One word across the horizon
The bold serif capitals arc across the lower half of the circle. The sun’s short rays and straight horizon set a lighter rhythm above WELCOME. An engraved rim and a small curved ornament below the word echo the round edge. The open wood between them gives the greeting and the landscape room to read.
The round silhouette works as an entry accent on its own or as the center of a seasonal display. Check the finished plaque and hanging cord together before placing it on a door that moves frequently.
Size, paths and mounting
| Digital files | sign.svg, README.txt and design-map.png in a ZIP |
|---|---|
| Cut profile | Round plaque, 180 × 180 mm at the supplied scale |
| SVG page | 190 × 190 mm |
| Mounting | Two round cut holes, each 5 mm in diameter at the supplied scale. Choose your own cord or hardware. |
| Red CUT | Three closed contours with centered 0.025 mm strokes. Two holes and one outer profile. |
| Black ENGRAVE | Filled artwork, inset border and outlined lettering for area engraving. |
| SKU | VD-SW-SIGN |
Dimensions describe the vector geometry before kerf. Allow the machine’s required clearance.
Set up the plaque
-
Confirm scale and stock
Extract the ZIP and import sign.svg at the supplied scale. Check that the circle is 180 mm across after import. Confirm that the two hanging holes are included in the cut preview before setting up a test on the same plywood. Use uncoated plywood approved for your laser, including its glue and actual thickness. Test engraving, cutting and kerf on matching scrap.
-
Set each operation
Assign black fills to engraving and red paths to through-cutting. Where supported, engrave first, cut the holes next and release the outer profile last. Follow manufacturer instructions for exhaust, stock support and supervision.
-
Check the finished fit
Make a complete prototype and measure the holes. Select cord or fasteners to suit the finished weight and mounting surface. Fit hardware after processing.
The vector geometry was checked digitally. Test a physical sample on your machine. Set power, speed and passes for your equipment and material.
Import and prepare the SVG
Glowforge. Upload the SVG in the app supported by your model. Check the size, set red to Cut and set black to Engrave.
xTool Studio or XCS. Use the version supported by your machine. Check scale after SVG import, since import DPI can affect dimensions. Assign the closed red profiles to Cut and the filled black shapes to Engrave.
Epilog. Use Pulse SVG import on supported models and firmware. On a vector editor and Dashboard workflow, preserve the centered 0.025 mm strokes and check that the driver recognizes them as vector cuts. Keep black fills on the engraving process.
Other CO₂ or diode lasers. Check machine support for the plywood and its thickness. In supported software such as LightBurn, verify the millimeter dimensions and set red to a cutting Line layer and black to an engraving Fill layer. Preview the job and confirm the planned order.
Common questions
What is included in the download?
The ZIP contains sign.svg, README.txt and design-map.png. Process the SVG. The English guide explains setup and use, and the PNG shows the layout for reference. The download contains digital files only.
How wide is the round welcome sign?
The outer profile is 180 mm in diameter at the supplied scale. The SVG page is 190 × 190 mm. Confirm the circle measures 180 mm in your software before processing and leave the clearance your machine requires around the cut.
Can I use this file on Glowforge, xTool or Epilog?
Yes, through the supported import workflows above. For CO₂ or diode setups, check usable bed space and approved plywood thickness. Verify size and operation assignments before processing.
Can I resize it or sell finished signs?
Scale every path together and recheck engraving detail, hole diameter and edge clearance. You may sell finished signs you make. Keep the original and modified digital files for your own use. See the README for terms.
