Made these funny sayings gift tags to learn how to make double sided engravings on the D1-pro and thought they would make great additions to the gifts. Fun to make and very Customizable.
This is a simple and quick project to make. Hopefully if you are unaware or had trouble making double sided engravings this helps.
Round 1
1) First make sure the red is set to cut and dark blue is set to engrave.
2) Make sure the yellow, green, and light blue are set to ignore.
3) Set up your material use XCS and navigate to "Go To Process" Home laser head
4) Using movement arrows move your laser to your starting spot.
(MAKING NOTE OF THE MOVEMENT DISTANCE AND DIRECTION - YOU WILL NEED THIS INFO FOR ROUND 2)
5) Start the run.
This run should only cut out the tags while engraving the funny sayings onto them
Round 2
1) Once the first run is done, go back to project in XCS.
2) Set Red and Dark Blue to ignore.
3) Set Yellow to score (lowest setting 1% and speed you choose - I do 90) - If you continue to ignore yellow it will not work correctly.
4) Set light blue and green to engrave
5) Move the tags (outlined in yellow) over the cut tags (red tags)
6) Select both the red and yellow tags and align both vertically and horizontally
(they should now be perfectly lined up with one another) (it'll look a mess)
7) In navigate back to “Go To Process” and Home the machine to get the laser head out of the way.
8) Without moving the material - remove tags, turn them over and place them back into the slots they where cut out of (blank side up)
9) In XCS (using your previous notes) move the laser head to the exact spot as you did in Round 1
10) Start the process
Once done you should have funny gift tags with both sides engraved
