Instruction
Step1: Position the coaster in the machine.
Place the rock coaster on your device's honeycomb plate or triangular prisms. Ensure that it is parallel to the laser's X-axis. Use “snapshot preview” to bring the coaster and background into XCS.
Step2: Mark the center-point on the coaster's surface.
Find the center of the coaster with measuring tape, and mark the spot with a pencil.
Step3: Align the laser's red cross with the center of the coaster.
Position the laser module so that the red cross is aligned on the center-point you marked in step 2.
Auto measure distance at this point.
Step4: Invert the image in XCS.
In order for the image to engrave properly on the dark slate, you must invert it:
- Select the image on the canvas.
- Click “Adjust.”
- Check “Invert.”
Step5: Center the image on the coaster.
While keeping the red cross over the center-point of the coaster's surface, align the image in XCS so that its center is at the red-cross.
Step6: Check framing.
Click “Framing” and follow the on-screen instructions to ensure the engraving area is correct.
Step7: Process and Engrave
Process and Engrave!
Step8: Clean and seal the coaster.
After engraving, clean the slate coaster gently with a soft cloth to remove any residue or dust from the engraving process.
The rock coaster can be used as is (first photo).
You can also apply a clear sealant for added protection. Use a gloss top coat for a shiny finish (last photo). Follow the manufacturer's instructions to apply the sealant.
