# MyLaserTools 2.3 release notes: Make keychains, standees and ornaments from Art Library pieces, with 3D print versions > Every Art Library piece now has a Make it into menu that turns it into a keychain, a standee or an ornament. Monochrome pieces open the engraving tools and colour pieces open print and cut. Those tools can pick art without leaving the page, and each one has a 3D print version, with the engraving sunk into the face or the colours set flush in it. There is also a new Layered Wall Art Generator, and 39 new patterns for the box tools, including a set of optical illusions. - **Version:** 2.3 - **Released:** October 2026 - **Web page:** https://www.mylasertools.com/release-notes/2-3 ## New features - **[Turn any Art Library piece into a keychain, standee or ornament](https://www.mylasertools.com/art-library):** Next to Download and Open in Design Editor there is a Make it into menu with Keychain, Standee and Ornament. A monochrome SVG opens the engraving tools, and a colour piece or plate opens print and cut. The piece arrives in the tool already loaded. - **[Pick Art Library pieces inside the tools](https://www.mylasertools.com/engraving-keychain-generator):** The keychain, standee and ornament tools have a Browse the Art Library button that opens the library in a window. Choose a collection, search it and click a piece to use it. Paid pieces show their spark price before you take them. - **[Engraving Standee Generator](https://www.mylasertools.com/engraving-standee-generator):** Engrave SVG art or a photo on plywood and cut it out with a slotted base, or as two halves that slot together in a cross. Turn it around in 3D on wood before you cut. - **[Photo Print and Cut Standee Generator](https://www.mylasertools.com/photo-standee-generator):** Print a photo or colour artwork and cut it out as a standee for acrylic or card, with a slotted base to match. - **[Engraving Keychain Generator](https://www.mylasertools.com/engraving-keychain-generator):** Engrave a piece on a small wooden keychain cut around the artwork or to a circle, heart, arch or rectangle. The keyring hole slides along the top edge until it sits on solid wood. - **[Art ornaments to print or engrave](https://www.mylasertools.com/engrave-and-cut-art-ornament):** Hang a piece on the tree. Choose a ball, bauble, drop, oval, ribbed ball, star, bell or tulip with a framed edge, or cut around the artwork itself, and the hanging loop is added at the top. One version prints and cuts, the other engraves. - **[3D print versions](https://www.mylasertools.com/engraving-standee-generator):** Download a 3MF or an STL from any of these tools, right below the laser files. Engraved designs sink into the face with the groove floor as its own part. Colour SVGs sit flush in the face with one part per colour for a multi-colour printer. - **[Layered Wall Art Generator](https://www.mylasertools.com/layered-wall-art-generator):** Turn a pattern, a round mandala or an optical illusion into a stack of 2 to 8 laser-cut sheets. Every sheet further back has wider bars, so the glued-up panel looks carved. Turn or scale the lower sheets, mix in a second pattern and download one SVG per sheet. - **[Optical illusions and 39 new patterns for boxes](https://www.mylasertools.com/box-generator):** The Box Generator and the 3D Box Generator have 39 new fill patterns, with a new Optical Illusions category: Vega Grid, Dot Sphere, Stripe Sphere, Wormhole and more. Pick one under Fill Pattern and turn the box in 3D to watch the faces bulge. ## Improvements - **[Photo keychains take SVG art](https://www.mylasertools.com/photo-keychain-generator):** The Photo Print and Cut Keychain Generator opens SVG files and Art Library pieces as well as photos, with the same cut modes as the standees. - **Licence notices stay with the file:** Artwork that carries a licence notice, such as the Pattern Monster patterns, keeps it in every SVG, ZIP and 3D download made from it. - **Clipped SVGs come out right:** SVG artwork that uses clipping paths now engraves and cuts the way it looks, not as the whole shape hidden underneath. - **[More art in the Design Editor](https://www.mylasertools.com/design-editor):** The art library in the Design Editor shows every published category and a new Colour prints section. Search all art finds pieces from every library at once. - **[Thin material and shallow trays](https://www.mylasertools.com/box-generator):** The box tools accept material from 1 mm, so 1.6 mm plywood works, and the Tray Layout Generator makes trays from 5 mm tall. - **Clear preview notice:** Art Library previews, print pages included, now say plainly that the preview is low resolution and the full detail is in the download. ## Bug fixes - **3MF files open in strict slicers:** 3MF downloads from the Design Editor and Map Designer now use the standard 3MF format, so slicers that check the file strictly open them without complaint. - **Long names keep their file type:** Downloads named after long text, such as connected text designs, no longer lose their .svg ending, so your laser software lists them straight away. - **Gallery and reviews in Spanish:** The Made with MyLaserTools gallery and the maker spotlight on the reviews page are now fully translated into Spanish. - **Easier colour pickers:** Colour swatches can be reached with the keyboard and are read out with their label by screen readers. Clicking the label opens the picker too. - **Spanish pages fit on phones:** Box, tray, birdhouse and other tool pages in Spanish no longer scroll sideways on a phone, and the preview card shows in full. - **Map Designer in Spanish:** The steps, features, laser export notes, ideas and questions on the Spanish Map Designer page are now in Spanish. - **Clear tag names in collections:** The subject filters on Art Library collection pages, such as clocks, dolls, toys and moulds, show their names instead of placeholder text. ## Quick answers ### What's new in MyLaserTools 2.3? Version 2.3 lets you make a keychain, a standee or an ornament from any Art Library piece through the new Make it into menu, and pick Art Library pieces from inside those tools. It adds an engraving keychain generator, engraving and print and cut standee generators, and art ornaments to print or engrave. Every one of them can also export a 3D print, with the engraving as a groove or the colours as flush inlays. It also adds a Layered Wall Art Generator and 39 new patterns for the box tools, with an Optical Illusions category. ### How do I make layered wall art? Open the Layered Wall Art Generator, pick a pattern, then set the number of sheets and the layer step. Download the SVG, cut each sheet and glue them in order from the back sheet to the front. ### Which tool opens when I choose Make it into, then Keychain? A monochrome SVG opens the Engraving Keychain Generator. A colour SVG or a print plate opens the Photo Print and Cut Keychain Generator. Standees and ornaments follow the same rule. ### Can I 3D print an Art Library piece? Yes. Open it in the keychain, standee or ornament tool and download the 3MF or STL below the laser files. Monochrome art prints with the engraving sunk into the face. Colour printing needs an SVG, so colour plates and photos print as a plain shape. ### Does making a keychain from a paid piece cost sparks? Taking a paid piece into a tool unlocks it the same way a download does, and the Make it into button shows the price first. Once a piece is yours, making more from it costs nothing.
