Step by step
Step 1: Design
Open the PDF template and send the design to the laser or create your own design and add a personal touch to the pendant.
Do you want to use a different material?
Note that the cutting gap has been optimized for TroLase Reverse 1/16". When using other materials it may be necessary to adapt parameters and geometries.
Step 2: Laser Parameters
We used a Speedy 360 (60 watts power) to cut and engrave the material. We've sent the graphics with 600 dpi to the laser and used the following parameters:
Laser Settings
Engraving: Power: 100% - Speed: 60% - Frequency: 1000 ppi - Air Assist: On -
Z-Offset: 2.5mm
Cutting: Power: 50% - Speed: 0.6% - Frequency: 2000 Hz - Air Asisst: On
Additionally, we activated the optimized geometries function to achieve even higher quality.
Step 3: Cleaning and assembling
It may be necessary to clean the pieces and remove dust with a soft cloth. After that you can easily put the pieces together. There is no glue needed, because the pieces fit together perfectly.
Tip:
To cut out the stand, you can also use our template.
Step 4: Attach the ribbon
To assemble the piece of jewelry, take the small disk with the hole, pull the ribbon through and fix it with a knot. Cut the excess from the ends with scissors.
In the pictures below we have omitted the ribbon, so you can see the assembly better.
Step 5: First side part
Now insert one side part of the disc.
Step 6: Insert discs
Attach all other disks to the side part and pay attention to the order.
Step 7: Other side parts
As a final step, put the other side parts around and the necklace is ready to use.
