3D Multicoloured Acrylic Tucan Pendant
Instruction
I made this acrylic pendant which can double as a pair of earrings with my xTool F1 but you can do it with any xTool laser machine. Wouldn't be lovely to have a P2? But you can also do this without a P2. This would make the perfect gift for any occasion. You will learn how to cut acrylic and engrave acrylic. Let's do it!
For this project you will need orange, yellow and black acrylic 3mm wide or any other acrylic colour you will like to choose as well as a pendant chain and earrings hooks for jewellery making if you choose to make earrings.
Just place your acrylic on your laser bed. I would recommend to lift your acrylic with little magnets or 4 pieces of acrylic so that the laser beam can breath and the acrylic does not get stuck to the laser bed. It is also very important to focus the laser properly to avoid any flames or burnt marks.
Cut your acrylic with these settings: Power: 100% Speed: 3 I recommend 3 or four passes.
Once all your pieces are cut you can use glue to join them together. It is very nice because this piece of jewellery feels like a little puzzle that you can put together. Once you have your tucan, just add a pendant chain or some earring hooks and you are done. You will have a beautiful piece of handmade jewellery.
