Standard | 500 dpi | none |
Halftone | Others |
---|---|
Color | enhanced geometries, inner geometries first |
Step 2: Process with the laser
Load your Trotec veneered wood or preferred material into the laser bed, focus, and start the cutting process.
Color | Process | Power (%) | Speed (%) | Ppi/Hz |
---|---|---|---|---|
Red | Cut CO2 | 100 | 1.2 | 1000 |
Passes | Air Assist | Z-Offset | Direction | Advanced |

Keep in mind that these settings are for a 120W laser, so you may need to adjust your parameters based on the wattage of your laser machine: how to find the best parameters for your laser
Step 3: Assemble
Remove the laser cut parts from the bed and adhere the bottom puzzle base to the top puzzle layer without the puzzle pieces. Use your preferred type of wood glue and clamp until dry. Now it's time to play!
