I really feel like I do not have a good handle on designing for laser cutting...
My instincts say that booleans and relying on kerf compensation is going to be the most straight forward way to get good fits, but this little shelf my kids asked for has a seriously complex tree.
I haven't seen any best practices out there. Anyone have any tips or pointers? Anyone else laser cutting with #FreeCAD?

@amd Use the same sketch for the pad and via a ssb for the pocket, applying the tolerance in the ssb. (Not commenting on how much tolerance you need, the other reply about the laser kerf handling that for you may be accurate. I have no laser experience)
