To make the coasters the first thing I did was to look for the images in Vezteezy and insert them into the xtool creative space. I have edited them to make them transparent and then to draw images. I have selected all of them to engrave. 

Then I have inserted 4 squares of 9x9 cm (which is the measurement of the coasters) and I have put the drawings inside to adapt the size and then I have aligned them (both vertical and horizontal) within the shape. 

As my machine is a d1 pro and does not have a camera, I cannot locate in the program where exactly the images are going to be recorded, that is why I do it as follows: 

  • I have copied the squares and I have put them on another sheet separately but in exactly the same place as they were on the previous page and select absolute coordinates. This is very important, because otherwise they won't  come out where we want. 
  • I've removed the squares from the first page (there are only the logos). Be careful that none of them move, it is important that they all maintain the same position they had. 
  • I select absolute coordinates on both pages.

To engrave the logos, we will turn on our xtool and insert a cardboard first. Remember that we do these steps for the d1 pro that don't have a tube

  • We go to the second sheet which is where we have the squares, select the material (I put kraft paper) and I selected mark. Check that you have "absolute coordinates" set. It is a quick process as it does not take anything and allows us to see where we have to place the coasters so that they are centered. 
  • Then we will place the coasters just above those marks. Change the height of the laser and adapt it to the height of the cork. 
  • We go to the first page, check that it says cork (cork desk pad) and that we have absolute coordinates in place. 
  • We give it to process and it will engrave the designs on the coasters. 

Note: as you can see in the photos they are not perfectly centered but that is because when I placed the coasters on the cardboard, unintentionally, I moved the cardboard a little and that is why it moved a little from place to place.

We already have our coasters ready to use since they are made of cork and you don't have to do anything else to them. If you want them to be better preserved, you can give them some varnish but I haven't put anything on them.
