A quick and easy father's day gift for dad Week 3
Instruction
Information
This is a card style bottle opener that can be stored in the wallet and carried wherever dad goes. Dad's ticket to fun!
Instruction
Step1
First step is to spray the card with the marking spray. You want a light even coat.
Step2
Next you measure the usable space on the card to see how big to make your design. These turned out perfectly at 55mm x 55mm.
Step3
Once in lightburn you would create a box and make that a tool layer of 55mm x 55mm. This allows you to scale the design and I have the laser set to start from current position and then I have the origin in the top left corner. This allows you to line up the laser on the corner of the card.
Step4
I created the design and used my previously known settings for stainless with marking spray which was 100mm/s at 95% power. After centering everything on both the horizontal and vertical axis we were ready to go.
Step5
I aligned the laser on the top corner and framed it. It looked good so I ran the job. One hint could be to make sure you always preview to make sure the job looks like it should.
Step6
After the card finishes, you wash off the spray with just water and you are done.
