Remember that the cutting gap has been designed specifically for TroLase Reverse 1.6mm. When using other materials it may be necessary to adapt parameters and geometries according to the thickness of your chosen material.

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 an even higher quality.

Step 3: Cleaning and assembling

In the event that you need to clean the pieces, simply remove dust with a soft cloth by gently wiping it away. After that you can easily put the pieces together. There is no glue needed, because the pieces fit together perfectly.

Tip:

To cut the stand, you can also use our template.

Step 4: Attach the ribbon

To start assembling the piece of jewellery, start by taking the small disk with the hole. You're then going to pull the ribbon through and secure it with a knot. Cut the excess bits of ribbon off with a scissor. 

In the pictures below we have edited ou the ribbon - this is just so that you can see the assembly better.
