Heart Earrings with Scored Stripe Detail (Teardrop Shape)

Place the 3mm basswood into the bed of the laser and secure and turn on the machine.

If using the M1 Ultra, position the crosshairs over the material and close the lid. 

Load the SVG into laser software or open the .XCS file. 

Set the material, auto-measure, and add any processing parameters (my settings are 80/50/1 for score and 90/5/1 for the 10 watt M1 Ultra, processing on the honeycomb). For beginners, note the video details each of these steps. :)

As shown in the video, you can combine the score lines into a vector and/or combine vectors to speed up processing. Note: if you combine vectors after you’ve set your processing parameters, you must reset them. 

Once the earrings have the parameters set, mark the processing area. Select the shape (rectangle), position the crosshair at the top left of the processing area, and select the white button. Move the crosshairs to the bottom right of the processing area and select the white button. Close the lid. 

In the software, select the earrings and position them into the marked area. Select processing and then start in the software. Press start on the machine. 

Once the earrings have been scored and cut, wipe down any edges and seal. Paint and seal or sell as paintable earrings.
