Step by step
Step 1: Design
Import our template or, alternatively, create your own unique design. Send the design to the laser machine.
Do you want to use a different material?
If you wish to use other materials, you may need to adapt parameters and geometries. The cutting gap has been optimised for TroLase Reverse 1.6mm.
Step 2: Laser Parameters
We've sent the graphics to the laser machine with 600 dpi and used the following parameters.
Laser Settings:
Engraving: Power: 100% - Speed: 60% - Frequency: 1000 ppi - Air Assist: Ein - Z-Offset: 2.5mm
Cutting: Power: 50% - Speed: 0.6% - Frequency: 2000 Hz - Air Asisst: On
Additionally we activated the optimised geometries-function to achieve an even higher quality.
Step 3: Cleaning and assembling
Clean the lasercut pieces with a soft cloth and remove the dust. Then proceed with assembling the pendant by fitting the individual pieces together.
Tip:
To cut the stand, you can also use our template.
Step 4: Attach the ribbon
In order to assemble the pendant, take the small disk with the hole, pull the ribbon through and fix with a knot. Cut the overhanging ends short with scissors. In the pictures below we have removed the ribbon, so you can see the assembly better.
Step 5: First side part
Now connect one side part of the disc.
Step 6: Insert discs
Attach all other disks to the side part, paying close attention to the order.
Step 7: Other side parts
Finally, insert the remaining side parts around the pendant. Your masterpiece is now ready to be showcased!
