Butterfly in color on 304 steel

Clean the pendant on both sides, with isopropyl alcohol and a non-abrasive paper towel, and dry with microfiber.

Paint a thin layer of dark paint or stick a very thin opaque adhesive on the side that will not be engraved. This step is for autofocus.

Open the XCS file, and enable infrared warm-up.

Identify the three groups of vectors to be engraved, named:

• Butterfly Colors
• Butterfly Outlines
• Butterfly Black

By default, the output is disabled for all three groups

Place the autofocus face under the center spot, close the cover, and autofocus

Flip the pendant over and position it horizontally, about 1 cm below the center spotlight. 

Select all three groups simultaneously to size and place the model on the pendant.

Check that the three groups have their output disabled

Enable the output of the "Butterfly Colors" group, and start the burning

Disable the output of this group, and don't touch anything

Check that all three groups have their output disabled

Enable the output of the "Butterfly Outlines" group, and start the burn

Disable the output of this group, and leave nothing

Check that the three groups have their output disabled

Activate the output of the "Papillon Black" group, and start the engraving

This step is the longest, its duration depends on the surface to be engraved.

Disable the output of this group, and leave nothing

Using a non-abrasive paper towel and isopropyl alcohol, clean well without forcing.

The black areas are the most important, the paper towel should  be clean at the end.
