Wanna play my guitar?
Instruction
Information
My first slate coaster with my new S1. I am still learning so I hope you like it. Note: I have no idea why my image is flipped but, oh well.
Instruction
Step1: Create your work area based on your slate coaster's size
In this case, the coaster is a 100 mm square. I believe I had a different size in the image but please create accordingly.
Step2: Position the slate coaster in your S1 where you will be engraving.
At this point, you may need to specify the distance of your starting point with the machine engraving area. Use the little mark to set the distance.
Step3: Create the framing
Framing is essential so the S1 shows you the area to be engraved. Not performing this process can give you incomplete engravings or out of focus.
Step4: Import image file
You can use the image on file. I hope you like it.
Step5: Set engraving settings
At this point and, given the fact it was my first coaster, I decided to play with different settings so I could learn more. For the word on the top left I used the lowest power and speed. I increased it for the word on the right. I used the top power and speed for the bitmap image. I must say that I did a second pass on all of them as part of my learning process.
Step6: Just do it
Once you've done the framing, set the settings and are ready for it, just do it. At this point you have nothing to lose.
Step7: Enjoy it
Wait till the S1 is done getting rid of smell and fumes, open the lid and get your coaster. It's a nice gift for someone that likes guitars and snakes or a horrible one for someone that hates snakes. Lol
