Funny Guardian Angel Engraving

Place the chalkboard (back side up) into the laser and secure. You can see in the video how I chose to secure my board in the M2. 

Create or process a material test. Included in the file is a material test so you can choose your optimal settings, but mine are preloaded for the design at 57, 300, 1 and 100 LPC.  

Note: chalkboard needs to be cleaned (with water) and dried before you see the final resutls, so please keep that in mind when testing. 

Flip over the board and secure to the baseplate. 

Take a global photo again when you close the lid. 

Measure the distance.

Enter parameters for the design. I found 57, 300, 1, at 100 LPC would be good for a vintage vibe without having to sand anything. If you want a more uniform engraving, increase the LPC. 

Note: increasing the LPC will increase the engraving time. 

Use the stitch feature to get a close up view of the entire chalkboard to position the design in place. 

Set the output on for the engraving (be sure all testing is set to off). 

Process the engraving. 

Clean the engraving in place with water and a soft cloth. Let it dry thoroughly before deciding whether to remove or process again. 

I'd love to see your creations! Share them below in the comments.
